Perform Generator Maintenance
Leroy Somer Models
Generator specifi cations require that this
procedure be performed every 20,000 hours or 3
years, whichever comes fi rst.
Maintaining the generator in good condition is
essential to safe machine operation and long
service life. Storing the generator in a harsh
environment may require this procedure be
performed more frequently. Allowing dirt and
grease to build up on the generator may result in a
generator which will run hotter, lose effi ciency, and
reduce the life of the generator.
• Inspect and clean the generator end windings
for oil or dirt contamination
