Thanks guys. I will pop open the cover and check it out soon.

Hi, I have a EG4 6000EX that I purchased last year. Everything works well so far, but lately it has been giving out some burning smells (like electrical wire burning) when under moderately heavy load, eg. 4.8KW. I think the fan works, as I can hear it wind up and down according to load. I'm...
