hose to clean generator. Water can enter engine fuel
system and causeproblems. In addition, if water enters
generator through cooling air slots, some of the water witl
be retained in voids and cracks of the rotor and stator
winding insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the
generator internal windings witl eventually decreasethe
insulationresistance of these windings.
