9.1 Cleaning

Keep all safety generators, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the generator with a clean cloth or
blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the generator
immediately each time you have finished using it.
•
Clean the generator regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the generator.

replace it if necessary. Please also read the service
