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.
