1. Remove the wing nut [1] and the air
cleaner cover [2]. Remove the wing
nut [5], remove the elements [3]
and [4] and separate them. Check
carefully that the two elements are
not torn or blocked; replace them if
they are damaged.
2. Paper element [3]: Tap the element
lightly several times on a hard
surface to get rid of any loose dirt,
or blow through with compressed
air from the inside towards the
outside. Never brush the element,
as this causes impurities to
penetrate the fibres. Replace the
paper element if it is very dirty.
3. Foam element [4]:
- wash the element in a solution of
warm water containing non-
foaming household detergent,
rinse it and allow it to dry
thoroughly, or clean it in a nonflammable solvent and allow it
to dry thoroughly,
- dip the element in clean engine oil, then squeeze it to remove
excess oil. If too much oil is left in the foam, the engine will
smoke the next few times it is started.
4. Refit the air cleaner element [3] and [4] the wing nut [5], and the
cover [2] and tighten the wing nut [1] fully.
CAUTION:
• Do not use the generator without its air cleaner, as this can
damage the engine.
CLEANING THE SEDIMENT
CUP
Close the fuel valve. Remove the
cup [6] and the Oring [7] and wash
them in a non-flammable solvent.
Dry them thoroughly and refit them.
Open the fuel valve and check that
there is no fuel leakage.
CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG
Recommended sparking plugs:
BPR6ES (NGK), W20EPR-U (NIPPONDENSO Co., Ltd.)
CAUTION:
• Only use the recommended type of spark plug.
• The use of plugs with an incorrect rating can cause damage to the
engine.
If the engine has been running, do not touch the muffler or the
spark plug as you risk burning yourself.
1. Remove the cap and unscrew the spark plug using a spark plug
spanner.
2. Examine the spark plug carefully, and replace it if there are thick
deposits on the electrodes or if the insulator is cracked or
broken. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush.
3. Measure the gap between the electrodes with
a set of feeler gauges: it must be between 0.7
and 0.8 mm. If the gap has to be adjusted,
bend the side electrode carefully.
4. Check the state of the sealing washer, then
thread the plug back in by hand until it is hand-
tight and seated properly.
5. Using a spark plug spanner, screw the plug in
an extra 1/2 turn for a new spark plug, to
compress its washer, or between 1/8 and 1/4
turn in the case of a plug being reused. Put the
spark plug cap back on.
CAUTION:
• The spark plug must be properly tightened or else it is likely to
overheat considerably, causing damage to the engine.
