TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
13.1
TRANSPORTATION
When transporting the generator, make sure that the fuel is drained from the tank.
CAUTION
•
To prevent fuel spillage due to vibration and impact,
NEVER
transport the generator with a full fuel
tank.
•
ENSURE
the fuel tank cap is securely fitted and tight.
•
NEVER
allow the generator to be exposed to direct sunlight or at high temperatures as this may
cause expansion of the fuel tank and a potential danger of fire or explosion.
•
KEEP
the fuel in a separate storage tank when transporting.
STEP 1
Turn the engine switch to the “STOP” position.
STEP 2

the generator is positioned on a flat surface and secured safety in the transport vehicle.
13.2
STORAGE
The following procedures should be followed prior to storage of your generator for periods of 6 months
or longer:
•
Drain fuel from fuel tank carefully by disconnecting the fuel line. Fuel left in the fuel tank will
eventually deteriorate making engine starting difficult.
•
PETROL ONLY
- Remove the carburettor float chamber and drain the carburettor.
•
Change engine oil.
•
Check for loose bolts and screws, tighten them if necessary.
•
Clean generator thoroughly with oiled cloth. Spray with preservative if available. (NEVER USE WATER
TO CLEAN GENERATOR).
