This pleated paper filter is designed to filter out dust and other contaminants from entering the engine. Please note, the foam pre-cleaner is sold separately. To replace this air filter element you will need a wrench. • Remove the cover screws • Remove filter cover • Take out the old filter element • Secure the new one in place • Secure the filter cover

Nothing complicated. Just needed to remove the back heat shield panel to get to the spark plug and have ~3\" extension for the socket to get to the spark plug. Everything else was easily accessible. Spent more time cleaning the mold grime off of the generator than anything else.
