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 any foreign material.

Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and

clean when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on its exterior surface.

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.

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.
