SERVICING YOUR GENERATOR
FOAM AIR FILTER CLEANING
A dirty foam air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
engine performance. If you operate the generator in very dusty areas,
clean the foam air filter more frequently than specified in the
Maintenance Schedule.
1. Clean the foam air filter in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow to
dry thoroughly, or clean in non
-flammable solvent and allow to dry.
2. Dip the foam air filter in clean engine oil, and then squeeze out all
exc
ess oil. The engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left
in the filter.
3. Wipe dirt from the air cleaner housing and cover using a moist rag.
Be
careful to prevent dirt
from entering the air duct that leads to the
carburetor.
