9. Transport and storage
9.1 Generator transport
To avoid spillages of fuel during transport of the generator, the fuel valve must be
always closed and the generator must be tied (so that it does not move).
NOTE: The generator must be transported in its natural working position.
Never transport the generator in other position (vertically or horizontally.
DANGER: Never start the generator inside of a transport vehicle. The
generator should only be used in good conditions of ventilation.
DANGER: When parked and with the generator inside, the transport vehicle
must not be exposed to the sun for a long time. Excessive temperature increases
(caused by the sun exposure) and will evaporate the gasoline and after will
promote an explosive environment inside of the vehicle.
WARNING: In case of transport, do not fill too much the fuel tank.
CAUTION: If the generator will be transported over rough roads or fields,
empty the fuel tank.
9.2 Generator storage
When stored for long periods of time, gasoline loses its properties and creates
waste. That can block the fuel path to the carburettor, making it difficult or
impossible to start the generator. If the generator does not run for long periods of
time, it is necessary to apply certain procedures.
Sporadic uses throughout the year:
With occasional use it is possible that the generator will have difficulties with the
starting. To avoid this, consider the following indications:
1 Make sure that the generator runs at least 30 minutes a month.
2 At the end, first disconnect the equipment connected to the generator, close
the gasoline valve and wait for the engine to stop due to lack of fuel.
3 Press the engine switch to the OFF position.
