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 engine 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. 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.

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 INSTRUCTIONS

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 cooling air slots and openings on generator are open and unobstructed.

DANGER! Storage covers can be flammable. Do Not place a storage cover over a hot generator. Let the unit cool for a sufficient time before placing the cover on the unit.

Engine Storage

See engine owner’s manual for instructions.

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 contaminated fuel with this unit.

•Store in clean and dry area.
