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. Cooling air
slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow,
leaves or any other foreign material.
NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator.
Water can enter engine fuel system and cause problems. In
addition, if water enters generator through cooling air slots,
some of the water will be retained in 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.
Generator Cleaning
_k AUTION! NEVER insert any object or tool
through the air cooling slots, even if the engine is
not running.
•Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosencaked on dirt or oil.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
• Use low pressureair (not to exceed 25 psi) to blow
awaydirt. Inspect cooling air slots and opening on
generator.These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
STO RAG E
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.
Generator Storage
• Clean the generator asoutlined in "Generator Cleaning".
• Check that cooling air slots and openingson generator
are open and unobstructed.
_k AUTION! Storage covers can be flammable.
DO NOT placea storage cover over ahot
generator. Let the unit coot for a sufficient time
before placingthe cover on the unit.
Engine Storage
See engine owner's manualfor instructions.
Other Storage Tips
• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on
essentialcarburetor parts, addfuel stabilizer into fuel
tank and fill with fresh fuel. Runthe unit for several
minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor.
The unit and fuel can then be stored for up to
24 months. Fuelstabilizer can be purchased locally.
• DO NOT store fuel from one seasonto another unless
it hasbeen treated as described above.
• Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt
in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this unit.
• Store in clean and dry area.
