5.6 Long Term Storage
For storage or long periods of inactivity, Stephill Generators recommend the
following:
Generators should be stored with oil filled to the correct capacity; Storage
periods of 18 months and over may require special lubricants and treatments. If
so please seek further advice from the engine manufacturer.
Before the generator is used after long term storage, all fuels and oils should be
replaced.
Generator mounts, pipes and hoses should be checked to ensure that they are
un-perished following extended periods of storage.
The generator should be stored in a clean dry area, ideally having a reasonable
constant ambient temperature, and ideally not below freezing.
6 Service and Maintenance
IMPORTANT WARNING:
After any service on the generator, ensure that all piping and electrical cables are
correctly routed and secured away from hot parts. Failure to observe this warning may
result in damage to the piping and cables which could result in a fire.
Do not service or work on generator whilst the engine is running, and ensure
the ignition key is removed.
