DO NOT use a garden hose to clean the generator. Water
can enter the engine fuel system and cause problems, in
addition, if water enters the generator throughcooling air
slots,somewaterwill be retainedin voidsand crevicesof the
rotor and statorwindinginsulation.Water and dirt buildup on
the generator internal windingswill eventually decreasethe
