GENERAL MAINTENANCE

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. Cooling air slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow, leaves or any other foreign material.

NOTE: Do Not use a garden hose to clean generator. Water can enter engine fuel system and cause problems. In addition, if water enters generator through cooling air slots, some of the water will be retained in 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.

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 engine owner’s manual for instructions.

If you need service for your engine, you need to determine the engine identification number.To do so, remove the rocker arm cover hood, item number 55 shown on

page 16, by removing the four nuts and washers holding it in place.The engine model-type-trim number is stamped on the side of the inner cover attached to the engine. Have this number in hand when you call the engine service center for assistance.

CAUTION! Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used motor oil. Used motor oil has been shown to cause skin cancer in certain laboratory animals.Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap and water.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN USED OIL TO COLLECTION CENTERS.

To Clean the Generator

CAUTION! Never insert any object or tool through the air cooling slots, even if the engine is not running.

•Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

•A 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.
