Daily, detailed checks of all nuts, bolts and screws are essential in order to prevent any accidents or breakdowns.
Inspect the generating set as a whole before and after each use.
Tighten any loose nuts or screws.
NB: the tightening of cylinder head bolts should be carried out by a specialist. Contact your local agent.
7.7. Cleaning the generating set

jet is not recommended, and cleaning with high-pressure cleaning equipment is forbidden).
Carefully clean the motor air inlets and outlets and the alternator.
Check the general condition of the generating set and, if necessary, replace any faulty parts.
8. Storing the generating set
Generating sets, which are to remain unused during a long period of time must undergo certain procedures, in order to keep them in
good condition. Check that the storage area is not dusty or humid. Clean the exterior of the generating set and apply a rustproofing
product.
Close the fuel tap (OFF position), remove the sediment bowl and drain it.
Open the fuel tap (ON position) and drain the petrol from the tank into a suitable container.
Refit the sediment bowl and tighten fully.
Drain the carburettor by loosening the drain screw. Collect the petrol in a suitable container.
Change the engine oil.
Remove the spark plug and pour approximately 15 ml of oil into the cylinder, then refit the spark plug.
