Cleaning - Advance Power AP3000 Operating And Maintenance Instructions Manual

OPERATOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Keep the air inlet screen on both the engine and
generator free of any dirt or debris to insure proper cooling.
At least yearly remove the blower housing on the engine
and clean the chaff and dirt out of the engine cooling fins
and flywheel. Clean more often if necessary. Failure to
keep these areas clean may cause overheating and
permanent damage to the unit.
2. Periodically clean muffler area to remove all grass, dirt
and combustible debris to prevent a fire.
3. On engine mufflers equipped with spark arresters, the
spark arrester must be removed every 50 hours for
cleaning and inspection. Replace if damaged.
