OIL DRAIN PLUG

\

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry environ-

ment 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.

Check the cleanliness of the generator frequenl]y and clean when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on its exterior surface.

NOTE: We DO NOT recommend\d using a garden hose to clean the generator. Water can enter the engine fuel system and cause problems, in addition, if water enters the 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 build-up on the generator internal windings will eventually decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.

TO CLEAN THE GENERATOR:

oUse a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

OUse a soft, bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.

oA vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt and debris.
