English
Wash your hands with soap and water after handling used oil.
Please dispose of used motor oil and containers in a manner that will not harm the natural environment. We
suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station or recycling center for reclamation. Do not
throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground or down the drain.
NOTE: Never operate the generator without oil cap tightly secured. Failure to do so could cause oil to spill
out of the engine.
AIR FILTER
A dirty air cleaner will restrict airflow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor malfunction, service the air filter
regularly. Service more frequently when operating the generator in extremely dusty areas.
NOTE: Never run the generator without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result.
1. Take out the air cleaner, clean it well in kerosene and dry it.
2. After wetting the element by clean engine oil, squeeze it tight by hand.
3. Lastly, put the element in the case and install it securely.

1. Remove the strainer cup and throw away water and dirt.
2. Clean the screen and strainer cup with gasoline.
