Cleaning the Generator
Clean the unit whenever dust, dirt, oil, moisture, or other
foreign material is visible on its exterior or interior surfaces.
The air inlets and outlets on the enclosure must not become
clogged with snow, leaves, or any other foreign material. To
prevent generator damage caused by overheating, keep the
air inlets and outlets clean and unobstructed at all times.
NOTICE DO NOT use direct spray from a garden hose to
clean generator. Water can enter the engine and generator
and cause damage.
1. Stop the generator.
2. Disconnect the negative ( - ) cable at the battery.
3. Clean generator as follows:
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

and pick up dirt and debris.
• Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) to blow
away dirt and debris.
• Clean the air inlets and outlets of any snow, leaves,
or debris. To prevent generator damage caused
by overheating, these openings must be kept
unobstructed.
