8-4. Checking Generator Brushes
8-5. Maintaining Stainless Steel (Models With Optional Package)
Stainless steel is very resistant to rust and corrosion; however, it must be kept clean to ensure rust and corrosion resistance. Units used in corrosive
environments (chlorine or salt water environment for example) should be cleaned with mild soap and water frequently. If dirt build−up occurs, use a
stainless steel cleaner to remove build−up. With proper maintenance, stainless steel maintains its luster and appearance.
8-6. Battery Maintenance
Lead acid batteries discharge when stored in any temperature. Units that are stored should have the battery recharged every three months and before
being put into service. To preserve optimum battery performance and life, recharge battery in storage when the open−circuit voltage drops to 12.4 volts
DC when measured across the battery terminals.
