ENGLISH
Storage
Long-term storage of thegenerator will require some additional preventative measures to guard against
deterioration and ensure that it works well when it is usedagain.
1. Let thegenerator cool down. Empty the fuel system. Refer to the Emptying the fuel system section.
2. Unscrew thespark plug and pour atablespoonful of engine oil (10W-30 in thesummer and 5W-30in the winter) into
thespark plughole.
3. Check theengine oil level and top-up theoil tank if necessary.
4. Pull thestarter handle afew times to distribute theoil in thecylinder, then refit thesparkplug. DoNOT reconnect
thespark plugcap.
5. Pull thestarter handle afew times until you feel aslight resistance, then slowly allow thestarter cord to recoil.
6. Clean theexterior of thegenerator.
7. Store thegenerator indoors, in adry and well-ventilated room. Donot cover thegenerator with aplastic sheet or dust
cover. Non-porous covers will trap moisture around thegenerator and assist corrosion.
Warning:
If you choose to store thegenerator with fuel in thetank, consider thefollowing advice:
• Do not store the generator in a room where there is any type of heater or appliance with a pilot light which could ignite
petrol fumes. Alsoavoid any area containing spark-producing electric motors or where power tools are operated.
• Avoid storing thegenerator in areas with high humidity, because that promotes corrosion.
• Leave theengine switch/fuel cut-off valve in the0 OFF position.
• Place thegenerator on afirm level surface. Tilting can cause thefuel to leakout.
When removing thegenerator from storage:
• Check thegenerator as described in section Preparations. Refuelwith fresh petrol.
