Jet-Ex 4D / Spec. 7003C / Generator Set
j. Operation in Salt Water Areas
(1) Canopy
Wash canopy regularly to remove salt film. Repaint any damaged places and oil the side panel
hinges regularly.
(2) Covering
To protect the engine and generator as much as possible from salt water atmosphere, keep the
side panels on the canopy closed, when not in use. It is advisable to keep the unit covered with a
tarpaulin, if available, while in operation. Salt water should be wiped from the engine, and all
terminals and connections in the electrical system wiped dry. Keep all linkage oiled.
(3) Brushes
The brushes of the generator should be inspected regularly to make certain that they are free in
the holders. Lift the brushes in the brusholders about every two days to insure their freedom to
slide within the holder. Wipe dry all the parts that can be reached, and use compressed air, if
available, to dry the parts of the generator that cannot otherwise be reached. See
MAINTENANCE for brush care.
(4) Field coils
The fields should be dried as thoroughly as possible. If they have become damp, proceed with
recommended procedure in MAINTENANCE section.
(5) Battery terminals
Thoroughly clean the battery terminals and connections. Coat terminals and connections with
petroleum jelly to retard corrosion.
k. Miscellaneous
Once a month, oil hinges on the engine compartment doors and the hinged plexiglas cover.
