GENERATOR
Cleaning
WARNING: When cleaning, use
only mild soap and a damp cloth on
plastic parts. Many household cleaners
contain chemicals which could
seriously damage plastic. Also, do not
use gasoline, turpentine, lacquer, paint
thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar
products which may seriously damage
plastic parts. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool; never immerse any part
of the tool into a liquid.
The generator should be kept clean and
dry at all times. The generator should not
be stored or operated in environments
that include excessive moisture, dust
or any corrosive vapors. If these
substances are on the generator, clean
with a cloth or soft bristle brush. Do
not use a garden hose or anything with
water pressure to clean the generator.
Water may enter the cooling air slots
and could possibly damage the rotor,
stator and the internal windings of the
alternator.
FUEL SEDImENT CUp
CLEANING (FIG. 1, 10)

sediment cup should be cleaned.

the OFF position (horizontal to the
ground). Remove the sediment cup
(TT), O-ring (UU) and screen (SS)
as shown.
2. Clean the sediment cup, O-ring
and screen in nonflammable or
high flash point solvent.
3. Reinstall O-ring , screen and
sediment cup.
