Cleaning the generator
Water is a electricity conductor, therefore it
can causes shorts.
• Always shut off the unit, disconnect and remove the battery
before starting the washing.
• In case it is necessary to wash the generator unit, it is
recommended not to direct the jet of water to the alternator
and/or the electric or electronic components of the unit.
• At the end of the washing, disconnect capacitors from the
alternator before starting the unit.
• Let the unit run in this condition until fully dry.
• Only at this point, after switching off the unit, reconnect
the capacitors to the alternator.
Unplanned maintenance

service operations related to electrical components.
