Generator Maintenance_______________
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean

slots in the generator must not become clogged with
snow, leaves or any other foreign material.
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
slots, 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.

or oil.
• A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt and

blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and opening on
generator.These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
