10.2. Engine:
See engine manual for maintenance intervals.
Remark: in the factory, the engine has been filled with 15W40 oil (for
temperatures up to -10°C). The minimum specification of this oil has to be
API SJ/CF-4.
If the ambient temperature is lower, 10W30 oil (up to -15°C) or full
synthetic 5W30 oil (up to -25°C) should be used. Here the minimum
specification also has to be API SJ/CF-4.
11. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary storage, the
generator should be secured upright in its normal operating position, with
the
engine switch in position “OFF”.
When transporting the generators:
•
Close the fuel cock
•
Do not overfill the tank (there may not be any fuel in the filler
neck).
•
Do not use the generator while it is placed in a vehicle.
•
Take the generator off the vehicle and use it in a well-ventilated
place.
•
When placing the generator in a vehicle, avoid a place exposed to
direct sunlight. When the generator is left in an enclosed vehicle
for a longer period of time, high temperature inside the vehicle
could cause fuel to vaporise resulting in a possible explosion.
•
Do not drive on a rough road for an extended period with the
generator on board. If you must transport the generator on a rough
road, drain the fuel from the generator beforehand.
Before storing the unit for an extended period ( > 2 months):
•
Make sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
•
For gasoline generating sets: drain the fuel.
•
Turn the fuel cock “ON” (if present), loosen the carburettor drain
screw and drain the gasoline from the carburettor into a suitable
container.
•
Tur
n the fuel cock “OFF” (if present) and tighten the carburettor
drain screw securely.
•
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain
conditions.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area.
•
Remove the spark plugs and pour about a tablespoon of clean engine
oil into the cylinders. Crank the engine several revolutions to
distribute the oil, then reinstall the spark plugs.
•
Reinstall the spark plug caps on the spark plugs securely.
•
Refresh the engine oil.
•
Remove the battery and connect it to a battery charger. This way you
will increase the life span of the battery.
