Emptying the fuel system
Prior to long-term storage, the fuel system of the generator should be drained of petrol. Petrol is perishable and can cause
starting problems if it is left standing in the fuel tank for a long time.
Be careful, petrol is highly flammable. Petrol must only be handled in a well-ventilated area.
1. Switch the generator on.
2. Close the petrol tap and wait until the engine stops (the carburettor is empty of petrol).
3. Undo the maintenance cover screw (18) and remove the cover (19).
4. Disconnect the fuel line leading to the primer.
5. Open the petrol tap and empty the tank into a suitable
container.
6. Reconnect the fuel line.
7. Refit the maintenance cover.
Checking the cooling system
Check that theventilation openings are clear. Theventilation openings supplying theair to theengine cooling system are located in
several places on thegenerator, even on thebottom. Theengine will overheat if anyof the ventilation openings is blocked.
Checking the starting system
Undo themaintenance cover screw and remove thecover. Pullout thestarter handle and inspect thestarter cord for wear
and other damage. Allowthestarter cord to recoil slowly.
Cleaning the generator
Always store thegenerator in acool anddry environment. Theexterior of thegenerator can be cleaned with one or
acombination of thefollowing:
• A dampcloth
• A softbrush
• A vacuum cleaner
• Compressed air
Transportation
Note: Donot place anything on top of thegenerator whilst it is still hot from recent use.
Before transporting or storing thegenerator for extended periods:
• Empty thefueltank.
• Remove thespark plug cap from thesparkplug.
• Keep theventilation openings clear.
• Store thegenerator in acool anddry environment.
