Possible Causes

Salt-laden air exposure, Inadequate enclosure sealing, Lack of anti-corrosion coating, Standing water around the base

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the generator and disconnect the negative battery cable before cleaning.

  • Clean affected areas: Remove loose rust with a wire brush and wipe the surfaces clean.
  • Apply rust converter and paint: Treat bare metal with a rust converter, then repaint with a corrosion-resistant coating compatible with Scheppach enclosures.
  • Improve drainage: Ensure the generator base pad drains properly and that water does not pool around the frame.
  • Seal enclosure: Replace damaged door seals and grommets to reduce moisture ingress.
