SERVICE THE AIR FILTER
NOTICE! Operating the engine with a damaged or missing air filter will allow dust and debris
to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear or scoring on the engine pistons. Always
ensure the air filter is in place.
A dirty air filter will restrict airflow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. If the engine is used
in very dusty areas, clean the air filter more frequently than specified in the maintenance schedule.
1. Remove the air cleaner's outside cover. Be careful to prevent dirt and debris from falling into
the air cleaner assembly.
2. Remove the air filter from the air filter housing.
3. Discard the paper filter if it is dirty. Do not attempt to clean and reuse it.
4. Clean the housing interior with warm soap and water. Allow to dry before reassembly.
5. Inspect the foam air filter to see if you can clean it or if it should be discarded. Discard if it is
too dirty and replace with a new filter.
5.1 Clean a dirty air filter with warm water and mild soap or a non-flammable solvent. Replace
the water as necessary, until the water is no longer dirty. Dispose of the oil contaminated
water in accordance with your local by-laws.
NOTICE! Do not use a flammable solvent to clean the foam filter. The solvent may dissolve or
clog the filter.
5.2 Allow air filter to dry.
5.3 Dip the filter into clean engine oil and squeeze out excess. The engine may produce smoke
when started for the first time after the filter is replaced. This is excess oil from the filter
and the effect is only temporary.
6. Reinstall the filters into the housing and secure in place.
7. Install the air filter assembly onto the generatore and secure.

REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG

NOTICE! Using an incorrect spark plug can cause engine damage. Only replace a spark plug with
a recommended model (see Specification).
The spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits for the best performance. Check
local bylaws to see if a resistor spark plug is required to suppress ignition signals. Replace the
included spark plug with a resistor spark plug if required.
1. Remove any dirt from around the spark plug area.
2. Unclip the spark plug lead and remove the spark plug with a spark plug
wrench. This will have a rubber pad inside the socket to protect the spark
plug's ceramic coating.
3. Inspect the spark plug. Replace it if damaged, badly fouled, the sealing
washer is in poor condition or the electrode is worn.
4. Check the gap with a spark plug gauge as shown in Fig. 7-2. If necessary,
reset the gap (See Specifications).
4.1 Correct the gap by carefully bending the side electrode (Fig. 7-1).
Check the gap after each adjustment.
5. Install the spark plug carefully by hand to avoid cross threading.
6. Tighten the spark plug to the recommended torque until the gasket is compressed (Fig. 7-3).
See Specifications for the correct torque rating.
6.1 Tighten an additional 1/2 to 1/3 turn more with a spark plug wrench if the torque rating
isn't available.
7. Reconnect the spark plug lead to the spark plug.
