Clean Air Cooling System
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean.
Operate the unit in an environment where it will not be
exposed to excesive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive
vapors. Cooling air louvers on the enclosure must not become
clogged with snow, leaves, or any other foreign material. To
prevent generator damage caused by overheating, keep the
enclosure cooling inlets and outlets clean and unobstructed at
all times.
Check the cleanliness of the unit frequently and clean when
dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible
on its exterior/interior surface. Inspect the air inlet and outlet
openings inside and outside the enclosure to ensure air flow
is not blocked.
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins
and cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly.
Unobstructed air flow is critical for correct generator
operation. For this reason, we recommend you have an
authorized Service Dealer clean the cooling system per
recommended intervals (see Maintenance Schedule in the
Maintenance Section). Equally important is to keep top of
engine free from debris. Make sure the oil cooler fins are free
of dirt and debris.
NOTICE Improper treatment of generator could damage it
and shorten its life.

Clean the generator as follows:
1. Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
2. Use a soft, bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, etc.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
4. Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) to blow
away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and openings in
the generator. These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
