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 agarden 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.
WARNING
Disconnectthe spark plug wire from the spark plug and place
the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
Battery Maintenance
Other than float charging,described elsewhere, no
maintenance isrequired for the starting battery. Keep the
battery and terminals clean and dry.
