STOPPING THE POWER GENERATOR
- Unplug the receiver from the socket or turn off the
receiver,
- After removing the receivers, leave the working
power generator at idling speed for 3 minutes to cool
the condenser coils.
- For power generators fuelled by petrol, set the
ignition switch in OFF position ("0"), whereas for
power generators with electric starters, turn the
ignition key to OFF position ("0").
- Close the fuel tap. For single-cylinder engines,
leaving the fuel valve open may cause fuel to
penetrate the carburettor and overflow it. Excessive
amount of fuel flows into the combustion chamber,
and from there it enters the oil sump, mixing with
oil. This mixture loses the lubricating properties,
slowly seizing the engine (connecting rod,
crankshaft, rings and cylinder). As the engine uses
splash lubrication, too high level of the oil-fuel
mixture may overflow the piston and immobilize the
engine. In such cases, remove the spark plug, drain
oil, clean the combustion chamber with compressed
air and change the oil.

CAUTION! When the piston moves with the
spark plug removed, the oil accumulated
over the piston is ejected with a great force
to a considerable distance.
- If the power generator is to be stopped for
longer than 30 days, its fuel tank should be
completely emptied. Drain the fuel from the
fuel tank (not by turning the device over),
then use the remaining fuel by starting the
device and waiting for its automatic
shutdown due to lack of fuel.
- Wait until the power generator is completely cooled.
- Leave the unit in a dry, well-ventilated and roofed area
- In emergency situations requiring immediate stop of the
engine, set the ignition switch in the OFF position ("0").
- after a long stop, with fuel in the carburettor, weathered fuel
must be drained by removing the screw in the bottom part of the
float chamber (the screw is always installed at an angle)
