2. Clean the screen and strainer cup with gasoline.
3. Tightly fasten the cup to main body, making sure to avoid fuel leak.
CHECKING CARBON BRUSH
If the brush become excessively worn, its contact pressure with the
slip ring changes and causes a roughened surface on the slip ring,
resulting in irregular generator performance.
Check the brush every 500 hours or if generator performance is
irregular.
If the brush is 5 mm (0.20") long or less, replace it with a new one.
1. Model E100

Model E100 (3P)

2. Disconnect the wire connector and remove the brush.
3. Carefully note the brush direction and relative position with the slip
ring when installing new brush.
