REPLACEMENT PARTS
The emission control systems on your Honda Engine were designed, built, and certified, to
conform with EPA and California Emission Regulations. We recommend the use of genuine
Honda parts whenever you have engine maintenance done. These original-design replace-
ment parts are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts, so you can be con-
fident of their performance. The use of replacement parts that are not of the original design and
quality may impair the effectiveness of your emissions control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that the part will not adverse-
ly affect emissions performance. The manufacturer or rebuilder of the part must certify that use
of the part will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission regulations.

Wash your hands with soap and water after handling used oil.
Please dispose of used motor oil and containers in a manner that will not harm the natural envi-
ronment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station or recycling
center for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground or down the drain.
NOTE: Never operate the generator without oil cap tightly secured. Failure to do so could
cause oil to spill out of the engine.
AIR FILTER
A dirty air cleaner will restrict airflow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor malfunction, serv-
ice the air filter regularly. Service more frequently when operating the generator in extremely
dusty areas.
WARNING!: Using gasoline or flammable solvent to clean the filter element can cause a fire
or explosion. Use only soapy water or nonflammable solvent.
NOTE: Never run the generator without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result.
1. Unsnap the air cleaner cover clips, remove the air cleaner cover, and remove the element
as shown in figure 22 and 23.

2. Wash the element in a solution of household detergent and warm water, then rinse
thoroughly, or wash in nonflammable or high flash point solvent. Allow the element to
dry thoroughly.
3. Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil as shown in figure
24. The engine will smoke during initial start-up if too much oil is left in the element.
4. Reinstall the air filter element cover.
