How to clean the Onan for painting ????
Think of it as your TV set & clean accordingly !!!! That’s correct….Your TV set. You don’t use water because of potential electronic & electric damage (BIG $$$s). Use air to remove/blow off as much crud as you can & after sections are cleaned with solvent. Best to coverup as much of the electronics as possible & then locally clean sections with a solvent such as carburetor cleaner/Brake Clean & wipe off crud till dry & clean. Don’t spray where it will get into the AC Generator Section (rear section) or the control Board section or the wiring. Clean small sections at a ime. Remove components as required to get to areas to be cleaned. Where you clean is where you paint. Try not to over paint….remember that the chassis is the Ground/Return lead. Mask off areas to prevent the paint from going inside the housing. There is no safe & easy method. Use lots of air to dry things. Allow at least 24 hours of dry out time before starting Onan after painting completion.
