9.6. CHECKING CARBON BRUSH:
9.6.1.
When the brush becomes excessively worn its contact
pressure with the slip ring changes and causes a rough
surface on the slip ring resulting in irregular generator
performance.
9.6.2.
Check the carbon brush every 500 hours or if the
generator performance is irregular.
9.6.3.
If the brush is 0.2 inches (5mm) or less, please replace
it with a new one immediately.
9.6.4.
Remove the brush cover and disconnect the wire
before removing the carbon brush.
9.6.5.
Carefully note the carbon brush direction and relative
position with the slip ring when installing a new brush.
10. TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE:
10.1. Before transporting the generator please ensure that the fuel cock is in the
"OFF" position.
CAUTION:
Contact with a hot engine or exhaust system can cause severe burns and or fires, always
allow for the engine to cool down prior to transporting and or storing.
Always ensure that the generator is transported and or stored in a flat horizontal
position. Tilting of the unit may cause fuel spillage which may result in a fire.
