How To Check and Clean Your Generator’s Air Filter

Hello everyone, today I will share with you how to change the air filter.

All diesel generators are equipped with air filters to capture dust, sand, debris, and any other airborne impurities that may enter the engine. However, over time, debris can build up and cause engine problems, such as the engine not being able to carry a load or rev or suddenly shutting down. Regularly changing the air filter is an important part of maintaining your generator and will help keep your engine in top condition. This guide will walk you through the process of changing your air filter. See below for a video demonstrating this process
Before you begin, make sure the generator’s engine and muffler are completely cool. Make sure the engine switch and fuel valve are off.
