Abstract
An engine generator includes an engine, a generator having a generating unit including an outer rotor and a stator, and a cooling fan disposed between the engine and the generator. The generating unit is housed within a fan cover which is provided for accommodating the cooling fan, the stator being mounted to the inner side of the fan cover. As the single fan cover encloses the generating unit, a reduction in the number of components and an improvement in water-proof performance are achieved. The stator can be separated and replaced simply by removing the fan cover without dismounting other components, whereby maintenance is facilitated and the number of working steps is reduced.
