Air Cleaner Service - Honda EU10i Manuel De L'utilisateur

2. AIR CLEANER SERVICE

A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor
malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when
operating the generator in extremely dusty areas.
Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning. They are
flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
CAUTION:
Never run the generator without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear may
result.
1. Loosen the maintenance cover screw and remove the maintenance cover.
2. Press the latch tab on the top of the air cleaner body, and remove the air
cleaner cover.
