general inspeCTion
Prior to each use, the generator should be cleaned and 
inspected  for  deficiencies.  Check  for  loose,  missing  or 
damaged  nuts,  bolts  or  other  fasteners.  Also  check  for 
fuel,  oil,  and  coolant  leaks.  Use Table  14  as  a  general 
maintenance guideline 
engine side (Refer to the Engine 
Instruction Manual)
air Cleaner
Every 250 hours: Remove air cleaner element (Figure 53) 
and clean the heavy duty paper element with light spray of 
compressed air. Replace the air cleaner as needed. 
air Cleaner with Dust indicator
This indicator (Figure 53) is attached to the air cleaner. 
When  the  air  cleaner  element  is  clogged,  air  intake 
restriction becomes greater and the dust indicator signal 
shows 
reD  meaning  the  element  needs  changing  or 
service.  After  changing  the  air  element,  press  the  dust 
indicator button to reset the indicator.
