it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to
your generator.There
should be nothing connected

GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Owner/Operator
is responsible
for making sure that
all periodic maintenance
tasks are completed on a timely
basis; that all discrepancies
are corrected;
and that the unit
is kept clean and properly stored. NEVER operate
a
damaged or defective generator.
NOTE:
If equipped with inflatable tires, make sure tires are
inflated to the value marked on the tire or within 15 and

Generator
maintenance
consists of keeping the unit clean
and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry
environment
where it will not be exposed to excessive
dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air
slots in the generator
must not become clogged with snow,
leaves or any other foreign material.
NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator.
Water can enter engine fuel system and cause problems. In
addition, if water enters generator through cooling air slots,
some of the water will be retained in voids and cracks of
the rotor and stator winding insulation.Water
and dirt
buildup on the generator
internal windings will eventually
decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.
