Corrosion Protection
Never use a pressure washer to wash the interior of the
generator with water.
Wash the outside of the enclosure using a mild soap and water.
Use an automotive-type wax and wax the outside of the enclosure
to protect it from the elements. If used in a salt water/coastal
area, the enclosure should be washed more frequently to prevent
corrosion. Spray light oil on the hinges for the enclosure doors.
Maintenance After Submersion
Never try to start or operate the generator if it has been
submerged underwater or exposed to a flood.
If the generator has been in conditions where it became
submerged underwater, the generator must be inspected and
maintenance must be performed before returning the generator to
service.
Turn engine control module and ATS control module to the OFF
position. Have a authorized Champion Dealer inspect the generator
and perform any necessary maintenance.
If the house or building has been exposed to a flood, it should be
inspected by a certified electrician for any electrical problems
that may occur if the generator is put back into service or if utility
power is restored.
