Cleaning Onan generator slip rings
Howdy, has any one bought that slick stick to clean the slip rings on their generator? Wondering if I can perform that operation without dropping the generator. Thanks to all who reply.

Hours of use and environment are the deciding factors on slip rings condition,
Generally if low run time hours and high Humidity, there is a chance of dirty slip rings,
A generator used often is less likely to have this problem,
An over heat problem is more often the problem,
air flow over the engine,
Air flow thru the generator head,
Dusty control boards retaining heat,
I would take compressed air and blow every area of that Genny clean , especially hard to reach areas inside the generator, rodent nests create air blockage and cause heat problems
