GENERATOR CARE
Proper care and maintenance of the generator is
necessary to ensure a long trouble free life.
1. Exercising The Generator - The generator
should be operated every three to four weeks. It
shouldbeoperatedforaperiodoftimesufcientto
warm the unit up and to dry out any moisture that has
accumulated in the windings. If left, this moisture can
cause corrosion in the winding. Frequent operation
of the engine generator set will also insure that the
set is operating properly should it be needed in an
emergency.
2. Generator Maintenance - Any major genera-
tor service, including the installation or replacement
ofparts,shouldbeperformedonlybyaqualied
electrical service technician. USE ONLY FACTORY
APPROVED REPAIR PARTS.
a. Bearing - The bearing used in these generators
is a heavy duty double sealed ball bearing.
They require no maintenance or lubrication.
b. Receptacles - Quality receptacles have been
utilized. If a receptacle should become cracked
or otherwise damaged, replace it. Using dam-
aged or cracked receptacles can be both dan-
gerous to the operator and destructive to the
equipment.
