Cleaning
1.Keep your machine clean. The outside of the machine can be cleaned using a damp soft cloth with a mild detergent if required. Never use water to clean the generator as it may cause damage to internal parts.
2.Some maintenance products and solvents may damage the plastic parts; these include products containing benzene, trichloroethylene, chloride and ammonia.
3.Use a vacuum to clean air inlet and outlet louvres of the alternator.
4.Take special care to keep the ventilation inlets/outlets free from obstruction; cleaning with a soft brush followed by a compressed air jet will usually be sufficient to ensure acceptable internal cleanliness.
5.Wear eye protection when carrying out cleaning.
