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

This procedure for storing the unit or protecting it over the winter must be respected if it 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 unit for a few hours every year,
ensuring that the storage procedure is respected afterwards.
