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 water or other liquids to clean
generator. Liquids can enter the engine fuel system causing
poor performance and / or failure to occur. In addition, if
liquids enters the generator through cooling air slots, some
of the liquid will be retained in voids and cracks of the rotor
and stator winding insulation. Liquid and dirt buildup on the
generator internal windings will eventually decrease the
insulation resistance of these windings.
Generator Cleaning
Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from
generator. Keep linkage, spring and controls clean. Keep area
around and behind muffler free from any combustible debris.
Generator parts should be kept clean to reduce the risk of
overheating and ignition of accumulated debris.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.
