TRANSPORTING - STORAGE
TRANSPORTING THE GENERATING SET
Before transporting the generating set make sure that the engine switch is set to
“OFF”. During transport, always keep the generating set 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 18).
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.
