Generator Maintenance
The generator's warranty does not cover items that have

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
correctly maintain your generator.
All service and adjustments must be made at least once
each season. Obey the requirements in the Maintenance
Schedule chart.
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean.
Operate the unit in an environment where it will not be
exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive
vapors. The cooling air louvers on the enclosure must not
become clogged with snow, leaves, or other foreign material.
To prevent generator damage caused by overheating,
keep the enclosure cooling inlets and outlets clean and
unobstructed at all times.
Check the cleanliness of the unit frequently and clean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible
on its exterior/interior surface. Inspect the air inlet and outlet
openings inside and outside the enclosure to make sure the
air flow is not blocked.
NOTICE Incorrect treatment of generator can damage it
and shorten its life.
• DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust,
dirt, or corrosive vapors.
• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
