How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the generator, disconnect the battery, and ensure all circuits are de-energized before touching corroded components.
- Dry the enclosure: Use fans or gentle heat to dry out moisture. Do not use open flames.
- Inspect seals and gaskets: Replace damaged door gaskets and seal any obvious gaps with weather-resistant sealant.
- Clear drains: Ensure any factory drain holes in the base are open to allow water to escape.
- Clean corrosion: Remove light corrosion from terminals with a wire brush and apply dielectric grease. Severely corroded components (breakers, relays, connectors) should be replaced.
