WARNING! Using gasoline or flammable
solvent to clean the filter element can
cause a fire or explosion. Use only
soapy water or nonflammable solvent.
NOTICE: never run the generator without the air
cleaner (12). Rapid engine wear will result.
1.
Release the air cleaner cover clips / screws (17),
remove the air cleaner cover and remove the element.
2.
Wash the element in a solution of household
detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly, or
wash in nonflammable or high flash point solvent. Allow
the element to dry thoroughly.
3.
Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze
out the excess oil. The engine will smoke during initial
start up if too much oil is left in the element.
4.
Reinstall the air cleaner element and the cover.
Fuel sediment cup (18) cleaning [F7]
The fuel sediment cup (18) prevents dirt or water which
may be in the fuel tank from entering the carburetor. If
the engine has not been run for a long time, the sediment
cup should be cleaned.
1.
Turn the fuel valve (11) to the OFF position.
Remove the fuel sediment cup (18), O-ring and filter.
2.
Clean the sediment cup, O-ring and filter in
nonflammable or high flash point solvent.
3.
Reinstall the filter, O-ring, and fuel sediment cup
(18).
4.
Turn the fuel valve (11) ON and check for leaks.
Spark plug service [F8]
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must
be properly gapped and free of deposits.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very
hot. Be careful not to touch the muffler.
1.
Remove the spark plug cap (19).
2.
Clean any dirt from around the spark plug base.
3.
Use the spanner supplied in the tool kit to remove
the spark plug.
4.
Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard it if the
insulator is cracked or chipped. Clean the spark plug
with a wire brush if it is to be reused.
5.
Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge. Correct
as necessary by carefully bending the side electrode.
The gap should be: 0.70-0.80 mm (0.028-0.031 inch).
6.
Check that the spark plug washer is in good
condition, and thread the spark plug in by hand to
prevent cross-threading.
7.
After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark
plug spanner to compress the washer. If installing a new

spark plug, tighten 1/2 turn after the spark plug seats
to compress the washer. If reinstalling a used spark
plug, tighten 1/8-1/4 turn after the spark plug seats to
compress the washer.
NOTICE: the spark plug must be securely tightened.
An improperly tightened spark plug can become
very hot and could damage the engine. Never use
spark plugs which have an improper heat range. Use
only the recommended spark plugs or equivalent.
