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 generator:
•
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.
Before storing the unit for an extended period ( > 2 months):
•
Make sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
•
For diesel generating sets it is better to fill the tank completely before storing the generating set for a long time.
In this way you can avoid condensation and corrosion in the diesel tank.
•
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.
