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 louvers 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.
CAUTION.
Do not use cleaning agents to clean the
plastic parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth
is recommended.
Transportation
When transporting the generator please make sure that it is
in the upright position at all times, with the fuel air breather
on top of the fuel cap in the off/closed position.
