See engine manual for instructions.
Generator Maintenance_____________
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit
clean and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean
dry environment where it will not be exposed to
excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors.
Cooling air slots in the generator must not become
clogged with any foreign material.
Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and
clean when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign
substances are visible on its exterior surface.
NOTE: Do Not use a garden hose to clean generator.
Water can enter engine fuel system and cause
problems. In addition, if water enters generator
through cooling air siots, some of the water will be
retained in voids and cracks of the rotor and stator
winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the
generator internal windings will eventually decrease
the insulation resistance of these windings.
To Clean the Generator______________
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• A soft bristle brush may be used to loosen caked-on
dirt or oil.
• A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt
and debris.
• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be
used to blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and
opening on generator.
SERVICE/ADJUSTMENTS
Refer to engine owner’s manual for information.
STORAGE
The generator should be started at least once every
seven days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If
this cannot be done and you must store the unit for
