5.3.7 Cleaning the generating set
To ensure it continues to run correctly, the unit must be cleaned regularly. If the unit is installed inside, always check that the
installation is clean and in good condition. If the unit is being used outside (building sites, dusty, muddy or densely wooded areas,
corrosive environment, etc.), it must be cleaned more frequently.
Use of water sprays or high pressure cleaning equipment is prohibited as this may seriously damage the unit.
1.
Use a brush to gently clean the engine air intakes and outlets and, if present, the spark arrester.
2.
Clean the unit with a sponge and water mixed with a mild detergent (car shampoo, for example), then rinse with fresh
water to remove all traces of the cleaning product.
A cleaning foam may be used and wiped off using a soft, absorbent cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed using a suitable solvent (white
spirit or equivalent) and wiped off using a soft, absorbent cloth.
3.
Check the general condition of the unit (no leakage, tightness of nuts and bolts, connections and hoses, etc.)
4.
Apply an anti-rust product to damaged areas, change defective parts and damaged labels if necessary.
Only use original parts and consult an agent if necessary.
6 Transporting and storing the generating set
6.1
Transport and handling conditions
The unit should be handled gently and sudden movements should be avoided. Ensure that the place where it is to be stored or
used is carefully prepared beforehand. Before any fixed installation on a trailer or inside a vehicle, consult one of our approved
agents.
Before transporting the unit, take the following necessary precautions:
1.
Check that the routes to be used are smooth and drivable. If it proves necessary to use uneven roads, drain the fuel into a
container before setting off.
2.
Check that the bolts are correctly tightened, close the fuel tap (if fitted) and disconnect the battery (if fitted).
3.
The unit should always be transported in its normal operating position; never lay it on its side. Ensure that the unit cannot
fall from the vehicle carrying it, but without exerting too much force (risk of damaging the unit).
6.2
Storage conditions
In the event that the generating set is not to be used for a long period, respect the following procedure for storing the generating set
in order to prevent any damage. The generating set should be stored in its normal operating position; never lay it on its side.
Drain the fuel and change the engine oil :
1.
Start the generating set and leave it running until it runs out of fuel.
2.
With the generating set still warm, change the engine oil.
3.
Replace the fuel filter (C1), leaving the remaining fuel to drain out completely into a suitable recipient.
4.
Close the fuel taps (A6).
Lubricate the cylinders and the valves:
5.
Remove the cap from the spark plug (F1) and the spark plug (A16-F2
6.
Pour approximately one teaspoon of engine oil in through the spark plug opening before refitting the spark plug.
7.
Pull the starter-recoil reel handle (A10) several times to distribute the oil inside the cylinders.
Disconnect the battery:
8.
First disconnect the red cable (+) then the black cable (-) from the battery.
9.
Remove the mountings from the battery, then remove the battery (A2)
10. Store in a clean, dry location and check the charge regularly to maintain a constant voltage.
Store the generating set:
11. Clean the outside of the generating set with a cloth and apply an anti-rust product to the damaged areas.
12. Cover the generating set with a protective cover and store it in a clean, dry and well-ventilated place.
This procedure for storing the generating set or protecting it over the winter must be respected if the generating set is not used for a
period of up to 1 year. For longer periods of storage, it is recommended to contact your nearest agent or to start up the generating
set for a few hours every year, and respect the storage procedure after doing so.
