7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the

possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could
attack the plastic parts of the equipment. En-
sure that no water can seep into the device.

•
Clean the air filter at regular intervals, and
replace it if necessary.

Open both clips (Fig. 11/A) and remove the
air filter cover (Fig. 11/B).
•
Remove the filter elements (Fig. 12/C)
•
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or petrol
to clean the elements.
•
Clean the elements by tapping them on a flat
surface. In cases of stubborn dirt first clean
with soapy water, then rinse with clear water
and air-dry.

Assemble in reverse order
7.3. Spark plug

hours of operation and if necessary clean with a
copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark
plug after every 50 hours of operation.

7.4 Changing the oil and checking the oil le-
vel (before using the machine)
The motor oil is best changed when the motor is
at working temperature.
•
Place the generator on a slightly inclined sur-
face so that the oil drain plug is at the lower
end.
•
Open the oil filler plug.
•
Open the oil drain plug and let the hot engine
oil drain out into a drip tray.
•
After the old oil has drained out, close the oil
drain plug and place the generator on a level
surface again
•
Fill in engine oil up to the top mark on the oil
dip stick.
•
Important: Do not screw the dipstick in to
check the oil level, simply insert it up to the
thread.
•
Dispose of the waste oil properly.
7.5 Automatic oil cut-out
The automatic oil cut-out responds if there is too
little oil in the engine. In this case it will not be
possible to start the engine or it will cut out auto-
matically after a short period of time. It cannot be
started again until the engine oil has been topped
up (see point 7.4).
7.6 Maintenance
•
There are no parts inside the equipment
which require additional maintenance.
7.7 Storage
•
Leave the machine to cool (approx. 5 minu-
tes).

Store the machine in a cold, dry place where
it is out of the reach of ignition sources and
