If fuel does leak, tighten the mud bolt, or if neces-
sary replace the seal washer of the bolt.

ATTENTION
y
Hand the petrol with the dirty material from the carbu-
rettor in an enclosed container to a hazardous waste
collection facility. Do no pour it down the drain, on soil
or throw it out with communal waste.
•
ATTENTION
y
The user can perform the carburettor purging operation
using the carburettor mud bolt themselves, however,
any work on the carburettor may only be performed by
an authorised service centre for the HERON® brand.
y
The air-fuel ratio and the carburettor are set by the
manufacturer and it is not permitted to make any chan-
ges to these settings. Any amateur tampering with the
carburettor settings may result in serious damage to the
engine.
PURGING THE FUEL VALVE
y
The fuel valve may only be cleaned at an authorised ser-
vice centre for the HERON® brand; purging may only be
performed the user themselves.
1. Using the fuel valve, shut off the petrol supply by tur-
ning the lever to the OFF position (to position 0) accor-
ding to the pictogram.
2. Place a suitable container underneath the purging bolt
and use work tools to screw off the purging bolt, see
fig. 17.
3. For an instant, open the fuel supply valve so that the
fuel valve is flushed out. Catch the outflowing fuel into
the prepared container.
4. Then shut off the fuel supply using the fuel valve and
screw the purging bolt back in place.
y
Purge the fuel valve ideally outdoors since petrol fumes
are damaging to health. Likewise, use appropriate
waterproof protective gloves to prevent the skin from
being sprayed with petrol. Petrol is absorbed through
the skin into the body! Perform the purging process
away from any sources of flames and do not smoke.
MIXER
y
It is forbidden for the user to modify the configuration
or to disassemble the mixer (fig. 5, position 2). Modifying
the configuration or tampering with the mixer may only
be performed at an authorised service centre for the
HERON® brand.
MAINTENANCE OF THE EXHAUST
PIPE AND SPARK CATCHER
y
Leave the de-carbonisation of the exhaust and cleaning
of the spark catcher to an authorised service centre for
the HERON® brand.
IX. Transport and storage
of the generator
y
The engine and the exhaust pipe are very hot during
operation and remain hot for a long time after the
generator is turned off, therefore, do not touch them. To
prevent burns during handling and combustion hazards
during storage, allow the generator to cool down before
handling and storing it.
TRANSPORTING THE GENERATOR
y
Transport the generator exclusively in a horizontal posi-
tion, suitably secured against movement and impacts in
the transportation area.
y
Set the engine shut-off switch to the "OFF" position.
y
The fuel supply valve must be closed and the fuel tank
lock must be firmly pulled tight. Transport the generator
with the gas supply hose disconnected.
y
Never start up the generator during transport. Always
take the generator out of the vehicle prior to starting it.
y
When transporting it in an enclosed vehicle, always keep
in mind that under strong solar radiation and a higher
ambient temperature inside the vehicle, temperature
will increase extremely and there is a risk of combustion
or explosion of petrol fumes.
BEFORE STORING THE GENERATOR
FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
y
When storing it, ensure that the temperature does not
fall below -15°C or increase over 40 °C.
y
Protect it against direct sunlight.
y
Drain all fuel from the fuel tank and fuel hoses, and close
the fuel valve. When draining fuel from the tank, screw of
the carburettor purging screw and open the fuel valve.
y
Purge the carburettor.
y
Change the oil.
y
Clean the external part of the engine.
y
Screw out the spark plug and allow approx. 1 teaspo-
on of motor oil to flow into the cylinder, then pull the
handle of the manual starter 2-3x. This will create an
