is operated in a dusty environment).

Place the generator on a level surface and allow the
engine to cool for several minutes.

Remove the engine service cover.
3.
Turn the knobs on the air cleaner cover to the unlocked
position. Tip the cover down to remove.
Note:
The air filter element is oil soaked. Use an
appropriate cleaning container.
NOTICE
Avoid skin contact with engine oil. Wear protective
clothing and equipment. Wash all exposed skin with
soap and water.
