Do not hose down the generator with water. Water can penetrate the generator stator and
rotor windings, which could reduce insulation resistance. Possible generator failure may
result.
 Clean the interior of the generator control panel in extreme harsh environmental
conditions.
 The voltage regulator and electrical terminals especially must be kept clean.
 Check voltage regulator wires.
 Make sure all circuit boards are fully plugged in to their receptacles.
Dirt and other deposits may form in loose connections and cause resistance and lack of
conductivity. These conditions, if not corrected by regular cleaning, may lead to a short
circuit and equipment failure.
Changing the gear oil
The generator is shipped from the factory without oil in the gearbox. It is therefore
necessary for the gearbox to be filled with the proper amount of gear oil:
27 ounces SAE90 gear oil
Drain the gear oil after the first 25 hours of use and refill with fresh oil as specified. Then
change after every 250 hours of use or every six months, whichever is earlier. After each
oil change, check that the correct amount of oil has been poured into the gearbox.**
Check Oil every 8 hrs: Oil level is correct if the lower edge of the inspection hole is nearly
covered with oil. **If your gearbox differs from the one above, contact IMD.
