    MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE ALTERNATOR The alternator does not require any maintenance. Perio- dic inspection and cleaning is recommended, depending on environmental conditions. However when the alternator has been idle for a long period attention to winding condition is recommended. The condition of windings can be assessed by measure- ment of insulation resistance to earth.
