GENERATOR _aAINTENANCE
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean
and dry Operate and store the unit in a clean dry envi-
ronment 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 snow,
leaves,or any other foreign material
Check the cleanliness ol the generator frequently and
clean when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign sub-
stances are visible on its exterior surface
Note: We DO NOT recommend using a garden hose to
clean generator Water can enter the engine fuel system
and cause problems, in addition, if water enters the gen_
orator through cooling air slots, some of the water wilt be
retained in voids and cracks of the rotor and stator wind-
ing insulation, Water and dirt buildup on the generator
internal windings will eventually decrease the insulation
resistance of these windings

• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior suriaces clean
• A soft, bristle brush may be used to ioosen caked on
dirt, oil, etc
A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt
and debris
