items
that have
been
subjected
to operator
abuse or negligence.
To receive
full value from

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.
Check the cleanliness of the generator
frequently
and clean
when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances
are visible on its exterior
surface.
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 voidsand 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.
