Preventive Maintenance
Dirt or debris can cause improper operation and equip-
ment damage. Clean generator daily or before each use.
Keep area around and behind muffler free from combus-
tible debris. Inspect all cooling air openings on generator.
Do not insert any object through the
air cooling slots. Generator can start
at any time and could result in death, serious injury and
unit damage.
•
Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
•
Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.
•
Use a vacuum to pick up loose dirt and debris.
•
Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used to
blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and openings on
generator. These openings must be kept clean and unob-
structed.
