Alternatively the HGI Technical Help Line would be pleased to advise on the best measures for your
particular application.
The generator has been designed, wherever possible and practical, to shed rainwater and
condensation, and is paint protected to minimise the effects of rust.
Consideration should be made to the safe operation of the generator to further protect it in
extreme environments.
We would NOT recommend operating hand held electrical equipment in the rain.
DO NOT use a pressure washer to clean the generator as high pressure water may enter the electrical
system
