7.2 Cleaning the oil filter
Loosen the drain bolt and then pull out the
oil filter. Clean every 3 months or 100 hours
by spraying compressed air.
7.3 Cleaning and changing the air
cleaner element
Wash the air cleaner element with diesel (do
not use detergent/soap because this is a
wet type element).
Remove side plate of the engine or open
the lid of the generator to see the air cleaner.
Release the clip, remove the lower part of
the air cleaner and take out the filter
element in the middle; wash the filter
element with diesel fuel and put it back in
the air cleaner after it is dry.
Never run the engine without the element or
with a defective element.
7.4 Long term storage & transport
1. Storage
Store the generator properly to keep the
generator in good condition. These steps
protect the generator from rust and
corrosion and will make the generator start
easier when the time comes to use it.
①
Cleaning
If the generator has just finished
running, let it cool for 2 hours then
clean the surface, paint damaged
areas, and coat with a thin layer of
plastic film, textile or fabric.
②
Fuel
Diesel fuel deteriorates during
storage, which will make starting the
generator more difficult and produce
glue-like materials that can clog the
fuel system. The fuel system will
have to be replaced if the diesel fuel
deteriorates during storage. To avoid
this: make sure to drain the diesel
from the tank before storing.
2. Storage instructions
①
Do not touch the muffler. The exhaust
pipe of the muffler becomes very hot while
the generator is running and the heat will
remain for some time after the generator
stops. To prevent burns or fire: move the
generator for storage after it is completely
cooled.
②
The storage room should be away from
any fire hazards (e.g. kitchen, burners,
dryers, etc.). The storage room should be
dry to guard against rust and corrosion.
③
Keep the generator on a level surface as
tilting may cause fuel or oil leaks.
3. Transport
①
Make sure the generator is completely
cooled during transport.
②
Keep the generator on a level surface
while shipping to prevent oil from leaking.
