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.
Make sure the cooling air slots in the generator do not
become clogged with snow, leaves or other foreign
material.
Check 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 the engine fuel system
and cause problems. In addition, if water enters the
generator through the cooling air slots, some water
will be retained in the 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.
• 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. These openings must be kept
clean and unobstructed.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
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
more than 30 days, use the following guidelines to
prepare it for storage.
