CLEANING THE GENERATOR
Generator maintenance consists of keeping
the unit clean and dry. Be sure to store the
unit in a clean and dry environment, where it
will not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt,
moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling
slots should always be clean and free from
clogs.
Note: Do not use a garden hose to clean the
generator. Water can enter the fuel and
intake system and cause problems. In
addition, if water and dirt buildup on the
generators internal windings, the resistance
of these windings will decrease.
• To clean the generator, use a damp cloth
to wipe the exterior surfaces.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked
on dirt of oil.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose
dirt and debris.
• Compressed air (not to exceed 25 psi)
may be used to blow away dirt.
STORAGE
The generator should be started at least once
every week. If this cannot be done and you
must store the unit more than 30 days,
please follow the following guidelines.
• Close the fuel valve; drain the fuel from
the fuel tank (Figure 1).
Figure 1.
• Drain the fuel from the carburetor
