3-3 AIR CLEANER
TIP
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor malfunction, clean
the air cleaner each 50 hours (or three month) and service the air cleaner regularly. Service more
frequently when operating the generator in extremely dusty areas.
WARNING
Using gasoline or flammable solvent to clean the filter element can cause a fire or explosion. Use
only soapy water or nonflammable solvent.
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result.
