Dirt and other foreign elements adhering to the filter

due to improper installation and engine wear.

ALWAYS

keep the filter clean at all times.

1. Remove the air filter cover (11)

on the side of the generator by

removing the two screw plugs.

2. Remove the air filter.
3. Wash the air filter in solvent or

kerosene and allow to dry.

4. Lubricate the filter using motor

oil (SAE #30).

5. Thoroughly squeeze the filter

removing excess oil.

6. Replace air filter back into

the engine.

7. Secure the cover back onto

the side panel of the generator.

IMPORTANT.

Never run the

engine without the air filter

element in place.

Tap extension fuel filter

A small fuel filter has been fitted to the inlet side of the fuel

valve (19), inside the tank. This tap extension fuel filter (18)

prevents any dirt in the fuel from entering the fuel system.

The procedure for removing this filter in order to replace or

clean it is given below.

Note.

The following procedure should be performed in a well

ventilated area, with no naked flames, sparks, or cigarettes.
Safety glasses should also be worn and engine switch (8)

set to the OFF position.

1. Completely empty the tank of fuel. Ensure the fuel tap

(19) is in the OFF position.

2. Compress the two wire

arms of the hose clamp on

the outlet hose at the tap

(19) and slide the clamp

back from the end of the

hose by approx. 25mm.

Slide the fuel hose off the

outlet of the tap (19).

3. Loosen the lock nut locking

the tap (19) on to the tank.

Unscrew the tap from the

tank and withdraw the tap

from the tank. Be careful

not to lose the small seal

on the thread of the tap.

4. Unscrew the tap extension

fuel filter (18).

Note.

This filter can be

cleaned in petrol to remove

any build-up of dirt on the

outside of the filter, or the

filter can be replaced. Do not

operate the generator without

this filter in place. To replace

the filter after cleaning, or

with a new filter, simply screw

the filter into the inlet side of

the tap.
5. Ensuring the small seal

is fitted to the tap thread,

screw the tap back into the

tank by a FULL 3–4 turns.

Orientate the tap so the

outlet of the tap is towards

the rear of the tank, and

the tap control is to the

right hand side of the tank.
