5.3.4 Cleaning the generating set
To ensure it continues to run correctly, the unit must be cleaned regularly. If the unit is installed inside, always check that the
installation is clean and in good condition. If the unit is being used outside (building sites, dusty, muddy or densely wooded areas,
corrosive environment, etc.), it must be cleaned more frequently.
Use of water sprays or high pressure cleaning equipment is prohibited as this may seriously damage the unit .
1. Use a brush to gently clean the engine air intakes and outlets and, if present, the spark arrester.
2. Clean the unit with a sponge and water mixed with a mild detergent (car shampoo, for example), then rinse with fresh
water to remove all traces of the cleaning product.
A cleaning foam may be used and wiped off using a soft, absorbent cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed using a suitable solvent (white
spirit or equivalent) and wiped off using a soft, absorbent cloth.
3. Check the general condition of the unit (no leakage, tightness of nuts and bolts, connections and hoses, etc.)
4. Apply an anti-rust product to damaged areas, change defective parts and damaged labels if necessary.
Only use original parts and consult an agent if necessary.
6 Transporting and storing the generating set
6.1 Transport and handling conditions
The unit should be handled gently and brusque movements should be avoided. Ensure that the place where it is to be stored or
used is carefully prepared beforehand. Before transporting the unit, check that the bolts are correctly tightened, close the fuel tap (if
fitted) and disconnect the starter battery (if fitted). The unit should be transported in its normal operating position; never lay it on its
side. Ensure that the unit cannot fall from the vehicle carrying it, but without exerting too much constraint (risk of damaging the unit).
Before any fixed installation on a trailer, consult one of our agents.
6.2 Storage conditions
This procedure for storing the unit or protecting it over the winter must be respected if it is not used for a period of up to 1 year. For
longer periods of storage, it is recommended to contact your nearest agent or to start up the unit for a few hours every year,
ensuring that the storage procedure is respected afterwards.
1. Start the unit and allow it to operate until it runs out of fuel.
2. With the fuel tap open, replace the fuel filter (A16-C2).
The fuel circuit will drain, ensuring that the unit remains in good condition.
3. Close the fuel tap (A4-C1).
4. Disconnect the battery (A2).
5. Top up the oil.
6. Replace the air filter (A9).
7. Clean the unit and cover it with a protective cover.
8. Store it in its normal position, in a clean, dry and well ventilated area.
