Anyone have any particular thoughts about the cleaning of these generators my particular one being the Champion RV Ready 3500watt.
As I have mentioned in previous posts, my generator is used almost exclusively for when we camp at Glamis. That environment is quite rough on everything that is out there and it has done a great job. However it does look every bit the part of a generator that has cumulatively set outdoors in the finest sand desert for several weeks. I would like to clean it up and make it look like new again.
Secondly I bashed my generator against another object while moving it and crushed the plastic that covers the voltmeter. Anything similar that might fix and cover it?
Cover the fins or slots in the end on the generator head with tape or foil to exclude water.
Spray with a water based degreaser such as Purple Stuff (do NOT use Gunk engine degreaser).
Let sit a few minutes and hose off.
Cautions:
- Cleaners such as Purple Stuff can discolor paint - always test first.
- Do not spray into front panel where sockets, meters or switches reside.
- Make sure gas cap is on tight.
- Start and run engine immediately after cleaning to dry.
Follow the Wiz's advice for the meter.
