Change the oil filter every 100 operating hours.
3 – Air filter
It is very important that the air filter be
kept in good condition. Contamination
due to a poorly installed, incorrectly
maintained or wrong air filter causes
damage and premature wear and tear to
the engine. Always keep the filter clean.
a) Unscrew the 4 screws and remove the
side panel (see the figure for changing
the oil).
b) Remove the cover of the air filter and
the filter.
c) Wash the filter using mild soap and
allow it to dry thoroughly.
d) Drip some oil on the filter and squeeze
the filter together so that the oil
spreads and excess oil drains (squeeze
it, do not wring it!). The filter must be
damp but not dripping.
e) Replace the filter in its proper position.
f) Replace the cover and refasten the
side panel.
Warning: Never operate the generator
without an air filter! This could lead to
extreme wear and tear of the engine.
