Cleaning the Generator
Never clean the generator when it is running! Never clean with a bucket of water or a hose. Water
can get inside the working parts of the generator and cause a short circuit or corrosion.
Always try to use the generator in a cool, dry place. If the generator becomes dirty, clean the
exterior with a damp cloth, a soft brush, vacuum or pressurized air.
Air Cleaner Maintenance
Routine maintenance of the air cleaner helps maintain proper air flow to the carburetor. Check that
the air cleaner is free of excessive dirt.
