Holding the tap firm, tighten 

the lock nut, ensuring the 

seal is clamped between 

the lock nut and the tank.

6. Refit the fuel hose to the 

outlet of the tap and with 

the  wire arms compressed, 

slide the hose clamp up 

onto the connection of the 

hose and the tap.

7. Refill the tank with fuel and ensure there are no leaks 

between the tap and the tank, and with the fuel tap turned 

on, ensure there are no leaks where the fuel hose is fitted 

to the outlet of the tap.

Petrol tank filter

1. Stop the engine.
2. Turn the fuel lever to the ‘off’ 

position.

3. The petrol tank filter is located 

directly under the petrol cap 

(2). This protects impurities 

entering the fuel tank during 

refuelling. 

4. Remove the filter & wash thoroughly in a solvent.
5. Re-assemble.

Cleaning

1. Keep your machine clean. The outside of the machine 

can be cleaned using a damp soft cloth with a mild 

detergent if required. Never use water to clean the 

generator as it may cause damage to internal parts.

2. Some maintenance products and solvents may damage 

the plastic parts; these include products containing 

benzene, trichloroethylene, chloride and ammonia.

3. Use a vacuum to clean air inlet and outlet louvres of  

the alternator.

4. Take special care to keep the ventilation inlets/outlets  

free from obstruction; cleaning with a soft brush followed 

by a compressed air jet will usually be sufficient to ensure 

acceptable internal cleanliness.

5. Wear eye protection when carrying out cleaning.

Repairs

Only an authorised service centre should repair the generator.
