MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Keep the generator in a clean and dry environment where it
is not exposed to dust, dirt, moisture, or corrosive vapors.
Do not allow the cooling air slots in the generator to become
clogged with foreign material such as leaves, etc.
Do not use a garden hose to clean the generator. Water
entering the fuel system or other internal parts of the unit can
cause problems that will decrease the life of the generator.
To clean the unit:
 Use a soft bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner to loosen
and remove dirt and debris.
 Clean air vents with low pressure air that does not exceed
25 psi.
 Wipe the exterior surfaces of the generator with a damp
cloth.
CHECKING/CLEANING AIR FILTER
See Figures 12.
For proper performance and long life, keep air filter clean.
 Rotate knob counterclockwise to release. Remove cover
and set aside.
 Remove the filter element.
 If the filter element is dirty, clean with warm, soapy water.
Rinse and let dry.
 Apply a light coat of engine lubricant to the element, then
squeeze it out.
 Replace the element in the air filter unit.
 Replace the air filter cover and rotate knob clockwise to
