GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure
that all periodic maintenance tasks are completed on
a timely basis; that all discrepancies are corrected;
and that the unit is kept clean and properly stored.
Never operate a damaged or defective generator.
Engine Maintenance
See your engine owners manual for instructions.
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.
Make sure the cooling air slots in the generator do not
become clogged with leaves or other foreign material.
NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean
generator. Water can enter the engine fuel system
and cause problems. In addition, if water enters the
generator through the cooling air slots, some water
will be retained in the 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.
To Clean the Generator
Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
Soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on
dirt or oil.
A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt
and debris.
Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be
used to blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and
opening on generator. These openings must be kept
clean and unobstructed.
STORAGE
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 as outlined in To Clean the
Generator.
Check that the cooling air slots and openings on the
generator are open and unobstructed.
Remove the negative battery cable from the battery
to prevent the battery from being depleted.
DANGER! The battery is water based. If you
are storing the generator in an area that will go
below freezing, you must remove the battery
and store it separately in an area that will not
freeze. If you allow the battery to freeze, the
water in it will expand and crack open the
battery spilling the contents.
Prepare the engine in accordance with the storage
instructions in the engine owner manual.
Let the unit completely cool for at least 5 minutes
before placing any cover over the unit.
Store the unit in a clean dry place.
Other Storage Tips
Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust
and/or dirt in a gasoline can cause problems when
you use that fuel with this unit.
Store in clean and dry area.
