6. Ensuring the small seal is
fitted to the tap thread, screw
the tap back into the tank by a
FULL 3–4 turns. Orientate the
tap so the outlet of the tap is
towards the rear of the tank,
and the tap control is to the
right hand side of the tank.
Holding the tap firm, tighten
the lock nut, ensuring the seal is
clamped between the lock nut
and the tank.
7. 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.
8. 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 tap (4) to the
‘off’ position.
3. The petrol tank filter is located
directly under the petrol
cap. 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.
