Engine Oil Change - Honda EX650 Owner's Manual

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.
m Using gasoline or flammable solvent to clean the filter element
can cause a fire or explosion. Use only soapy water or nonflammable
solvent.
1 NOTICE (
Never run the generator without the air cleaner. Rapid
engine wear will result.
1. Unfasten the latches and remove the rear cover.
2. Unsnap the air cleaner cover spring, remove the cleaner cover and air
cleaner element.
3. 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.
4. Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil. The
engine will smoke during initial startup if too much oil is left in the element.
5. Reinstall the air cleaner element, air cleaner cover and rear cover.
