Abstract
A generator comprising a frame defining an interior space, a removable rear panel, and a lid movable between an open position and a closed position is disclosed. When the lid is in its closed position, the lid extends over the interior space. When the lid is in its open position, the lid is positioned entirely above the interior space and the rear panel such that the rear panel can be detached from the frame so that a technician can access at least a portion of the interior space without having to detach the lid.
