Generator maintenance
Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all
times. The generator should not be stored or operated in
environments that includes excessive moisture, dust or any
corrosive vapors. If these substances are on the generator,
clean with a cloth or soft bristle brush. Do not use a
garden hose or anything with water pressure to clean the
generator. Water may enter the cooling air slots and could
possibly damage the rotor, stator and the internal windings
of the generator head.
Storage
If you are going to store your generator for more than 30
days, use the following information as a guide to prepare
the generator for storage.
Never store generator with fuel in the tank indoors or in
enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fumes can reach
an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water
heater, clothes dryer or other
gas appliances.
