c.
Operation in Dusty or Sandy Areas.
(1) Shield generator set from dust and sand.
(2) Clean dust and dirt from the generator set as required. Do not allow dust to accumulate
around generator set.
(3) Inspect and clean secondary (outer) air intake filter.
(4) Keep generator air inlet and outlet slots clean.
(5) Carefully remove dust and sand from control panel.
(6) Keep area around fuel tank clean and free from dust and sand.
d.
Operation in Rainy or Humid Conditions.
(1) When not in use, cover generator set with canvas or other waterproof material. Remove
cover during dry periods to allow unit to dry out.
(2) Keep fuel tank full to prevent condensation.
e.
Operation in Salt Water Areas.
CAUTION
Salt water is harmful to paint and is particularly corrosive when allowed to
remain in contact with exposed metal surfaces.
(1) Cover generator set with canvas or other material when it is not in use.
(2) Wipe generator set down frequently with fresh water and allow it to dry thoroughly.
f. Operation at High Altitudes.
NOTE
The generator set is designed to produce 2kW continuous at elevations up to
4,000 ft (1,219 m) above sea level, 95F (35C) ambient and 30 to 70% relative
humidity without special service or adjustment.
g. Derating Generator Set Output for High Altitudes and Temperatures.
(1) To run the set at a higher altitude, derate output 1.3% for every 328 ft (100 m) above
4000 ft (1,219m). (Refer to Table 2-3.)
(2) Provide adequate ventilation, as the engine is more likely to overheat at high altitudes.
(3) When operating in high temperatures, derate 3% for every 50F (10C) above 95F
(35C). (Refer to Table 2-3.)
