TRANSPORT AND
STORAGE
TRANSPORT THE GENERATOR
Before transporting the generator make sure that the engine
switch is set to “OFF”. During transport, always keep the
generator level and the fuel valve closed to avoid any risk of
leakage of fuel.
STORAGE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD
1. Ensure that the storage area
is not damp or dusty.
2. Drain the fuel:
- Close the fuel valve and
remove and empty the
sediment cup [1].
- Open the fuel valve (“ON”
position). Drain the petrol in
the fuel tank, collecting it in
a suitable container.
- Refit the O-ring [2] and
tighten the sediment cup [1]
securely.
- Drain the carburettor by undoing the drain screw [3], collecting
the petrol in a suitable container.
3. Change the engine oil (see page 7).
4. Remove the spark plug and tip a spoonful of clean engine oil into
the cylinder. Turn the engine gently using the starter grip, in
order to spread the oil out, Pull the starter slowly until a
resistance is felt. This closes the valves and protects them from
dust and corrosion.
After spark plug is seated, lighten with a spark plug wrench to
compress the washer.
NOTE:
Environment protection: Contaminated petrol is a major source of
pollution for the environment. It is therefore strongly recommended
that it should be placed in a sealed container and taken to a service
station or waste disposal plant for recycling. Petrol must not be
disposed of along with household waste, poured onto the ground, or
poured into sewers or rainwater drains.
FUEL STORAGE
NOTE:
• Ensure that you use containers
or drums specifically designed
for hydrocarbons [4].
This will prevent polluting the
fuel through the dissolution of
the container walls, which will
lead to poor functioning of the
engine.
• The warranty does not cover a
blocked carburetor or valves
jammed by old or polluted fuel.
• The quality of unleaded petrol alters very quickly (2 to 3 weeks in
some cases). Do not use fuel more than 1 month old.
Store the absolute minimum required for your monthly
consumption.
