Abstract

A full-covered portable generator composed of a generator core, an engine for driving the generator core enclosed by a cover comprising discrete front, rear and bottom cover elements. The rear cover element is detachably joined to the rear cover element along lateral peripheral surfaces of the generator. The engine and its main components are each covered at least in part by the front cover element in a manner that they are exposed when the rear cover element is detached from the front cover element, for facilitation of the maintenance thereof. Various controls and readouts or displays are arranged on the front cover element transversely of the generator, preferably in an order corresponding to the required order in which they are operated or read. A carrying handle is arranged on an upper surface of the front cover element and extends transversely of the generator.
