they have it covered..they only thing I might add is
the champion doesn't have any magnets, it has a field windings powered thru brushes from the regulator.
rotating the engine and keeping it lubed should keep the field brushes free & clean, the starting excitement for the genset is the residual magnetism in the field core, with out undo heat and vibration this should last until you use the generator , but I would run the genny at least twice a year, for 30 minutes or more bring the engine up to running temps, the running engine throws oil inside the crankcase and cylinder and up on the valve stems, something that can't be accompished by hand rotation. put a load on it, runs some fans or the A/C or something to load the genny power and create a load and some feild magnetism
" Use It or Lose It " is my mantra
