I did this many times w/o problems. What you should do is:
do not hold the lance into the generator
dont do it when the engine is really hot
dont spray the manifold, catalytic converters and muffler
leave the engine idling
take out the floor panel, and clean it seperately
dont spray the components behind the firewall (battery, motor electronis, fuse box....)
The rest does not caused any problems.
