12.2. Alternator Storage
When an alternator is in storage, moisture tends to
condense in the windings. To minimize condensation,
store the generating set in a dry storage area. If possi
-
ble use space heaters to keep the windings dry.
After removing the generating set from storage, per
-
form an insulation check as discussed in Section 11.5.
12.3. Battery Storage
While the battery is stored, it should receive a re
-
freshing charge every 4 weeks up to a fully charged
condition
13. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS ABOUT WARRANTY

repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely,
but sometimes requests for warranty service may not
be appropriate. For example, warranty service would
not apply if equipment damage occurred because of
misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling,
warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the
warranty is void if the manufacturing date or the serial
number on the equipment has been removed or the
equipment has been altered or modified. During the
warranty period, the Authorized Service Dealer, at its
option, will repair or replace any part that, upon ex
-
amination, is found to be defective under normal use
and service. This warranty will not cover the following
repairs and equipment:
• Normal Wear: Outdoor Power Equipment and en
-
gines, like all mechanical devices, needs periodic parts
and service to perform well.
This warranty does not cover repair when normal use
has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment.
• Installation and Maintenance: This warranty does not
apply to equipment or parts that have been subjected
to improper or unauthorized installation or alteration
