TRANSPORT AND
STORAGE
TRANSPORT THE GENERATOR
Before transporting the generator make sure that the engine
switch is set to "STOP". During transport, always keep the
generator level and the fuel shut-off valve closed to avoid any
risk of leakage of fuel.

[1] Handle for transportation
According to EUROPEAN STANDARD EN 12601 : 2010, carrying
the generating set is considered that a 140 kg set should be
provided with the means of carrying by 4 persons.
STORAGE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD
1. Ensure that the storage area is
not damp or dusty.
2. Drain the fuel contained in the
tank (see page 7).
3. Drain the carburettor by
loosening the drain plug [2] and
collect the petrol in an approved
container.
4. Change the engine oil
(see page 7).
5. Remove the spark plug and tip a
spoonful of clean engine oil into
the cylinder. Turn the engine
gently using the recoil starter, in
order to spread the oil out, and
stop the piston at its highest
point (compression): this closes
off the inlet and exhaust valves.
6. Clean and cover the generator.
NOTE: Environment protection: Contaminated petrol is amajor
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:
• Petrol will oxidize and deteriorate in storage.
Old petrol will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that
clog the fuel system. If the petrol in your engine deteriorates
during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other
fuel system components serviced or replaced.
• Ensure that you use containers or
drums specifically designed for
hydrocarbons [3]. This will prevent
polluting the fuel through the
dissolution of the container walls,
which will lead to poor functioning
of the engine.

• Store the fuel in a dark place, in a room at constant temperature
(avoid garden sheds).
• 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.
