If the generator is only used very rarely then there may be
difficulties in getting it started.
The generator should therefore be run for about 30 minutes
a week to avoid these problems.
If you do not need the generator for a longer period of time
then it should be decommissioned and put into storage.
CAUTION!
Escaping engine oil and fuel can pollute the earth and
the ground water.
Proceed as follows to decommission the generator.
These requirements must be fulfilled:

Appliances switched off or disconnected

The device must be shut off.

The device is still somewhat warm
Drain off the engine oil in the generator as follows:
