Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all times. The generator
should not be stored or operated in environments that includes excessive
moisture, dust or any corrosive vapours. If these substances are on the
generator, clean with a cloth or soft bristle brush. Do not use a garden hose
or anything with water pressure to clean the generator. Water may enter the
cooling air slots and could possibly damage the rotor, stator and the internal
windings of the generator head.
• Never store generator with fuel in the tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly
ventilated areas, where fumes can reach an open ame, spark or pilot
light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.
• Ensure the fuel tank and carburettor are BOTH fully drained of fuel.
Open the fuel drain (25) on the carburettor to drain the fuel totally from
the fuel tank (1).
• Check the fuel tap / lever (26) is turned o (Fig V).
• Drain and replace the engine oil.
• Clean the generator with a damp soft cloth with mild detergent.
• Do not clean the generator with water.
• Check all nuts bolts and fasteners. Ensure they are tightened if needed
before storage.
To ensure the engine is operating correctly, the spark plug must be properly
gapped and free of carbon deposits. Always check the spark plug cable is
rmly tted to the top of the spark plug.
WARNING: Ensure the engine is switched o while undertaking
this task.
1. Pull the spark plug lead (22) o the spark plug (23) and then remove spark
plug (23) from the generator using the supplied 21mm Spark Plug Tube
Spanner (31) by rotating in a clockwise direction (Fig AC).
2. Remove carbon deposits using a wire brush.
3. Check for discoloration on the top of the spark plug (23).
The standard colour should be a tan colour.
4. Check the spark plug gap. The acceptable gap should be between
0.6 – 0.8mm (Fig. AD).
5. The recommended spark plugs are as follows:
BPR6ES (NGK) RN11YC (Champion) WR6DC (Bosch)
CAUTION: Check that no foreign material, debris, or dust enters the
crankcase.
Replacement spark plugs are available from purchase from lawn mower or
small engine repair shops.
