MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

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.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR GENERATOR

•Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.

WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK

•Use approved spark plug tester.

•DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.

•Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.

•Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) 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 “Generator Cleaning”.

•Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator are open and unobstructed.

WARNING

Storage covers can be flammable.

•DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot generator.

•Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the cover on the equipment.

Battery Maintenance

IMPORTANT: Battery charging should be performed in a dry location, such as inside a garage.

Generator Cleaning

•Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

•Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt or oil.

CAUTION

Improper treatment of generator can damage it and shorten its life.

•DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors.

•DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.

Engine Storage

See engine operator’s manual for instructions.

Other Storage Tips

•To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on essential carburetor parts, add fuel stabilizer into fuel tank and fill with fresh fuel. Run the unit for several minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor. The unit and fuel can then be stored for up to

24 months. Fuel stabilizer can be purchased locally.

•DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it has been treated as described above.

•Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this unit.

•Store unit in a clean and dry area.
