The other part of Gen maintenance is the electrical generation side. These are brushed commutator generators (mostly) and moisture in the air will condense on the windings, brushes, commutator parts quickly depending on how moist the air is around it. Dry desert is the best (Tucson), seashore the worst. Running the gen set monthly under load will drive out this moisture with the heat generated by running. This will avoid corrosion long term in these parts. This is the major difference between lawn mowers, tractors and gen sets. Manufacturers always specify a minimum maintenance schedule regardless of conditions.
