CLEANING THE GENERATOR
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the
unit clean and dry. Be sure to store the unit in a
clean and dry environment, where it will not be
exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any
corrosive vapors. Cooling slots should always
be clean and free from clogs.
Note: Do not use a garden hose to clean the
generator. Water can enter the fuel and intake
system and cause problems. In addition, if water
and dirt buildup on the generators internal
windings, the resistance of these windings will
decrease.
