(1) Changing oil

CAUTION: Used motor oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the
skin for prolonged periods. Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a
daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as
soon as possible after handling used oil.
NOTE: Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the
environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service
station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground.
(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.
WARNING! Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning the air cleaner
element. A fire or explosion could result.
CAUTION: Never run the generator without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will
result.
1. Unsnap the air cleaner cover spring, remove the air cleaner cover and remove the
element.
