WARNING
Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning. They are flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
NOTICE

  1. Remove the maintenance cover.
  2. Remove the screw from the front of the air box.
  3. Remove the air filter.
  4. If the filter is dirty or torn, replace it with a new one. Do not attempt to clean the element.
  5. Re-install the air filter cover and screw.

IMPORTANT
When replacing the filter, ensure that the filter is not pinched between the covers to secure a proper seal.

Foam Filters

If using a foam air filter, follow the steps below to clean the filter before replacing it in the air box.
  1. Submerge the filter in a solution of warm water and household detergent.
  2. Let the filter soak in the solution for a few minutes and then squeeze out the excess water.
  3. Repeat step 2 several times to ensure the water coming from the filter is clean. Then let the filter dry completely.
  4. Once dry, pour air filter oil onto the filter and distribute evenly. Be sure to rid the filter of excess oil.
    NOTICE
    The use of air filter oil allows the filter to catch even the smallest particles of dirt and dust.
  5. If at any point during the cleaning process, the filter becomes damaged, then it must be replaced prior to operating your generator.
