Air filter cleaning
Never use the generator without air filter, with the filter
damaged or badly installed. If this happens, dust will
enter the engine, causing rapid breakdowns.
This type
of damage is not covered by the dealer's warranty.
1. Unscrew the fixing screws and remove the filter
cover;
2. Remove the filtering element and blow out with
compressed air until it is completely clean. If it is too
dirty, wash it with water and detergent, and let it dry
completely;
3. Place the filtering element and assemble the
remaining components in the reverse order to
disassembly;
The use of the dirty filter will restrict the air flow in the
carburetor affecting the generator performance.
Checking and changing the spark plug
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug
should be clean and with adequate gap between the
electrodes.
1. Remove the side cover and access cover (1), and use
the spark plug wrench (3) to remove the spark plug cap
e from the spark plug (2).
2. Place the handle (4) into the spark plug wrench (5)
and insert it into the hole. Turn counter-clockwise to
unscrew the spark plug and check that it is clean;
3. If not clean, remove the debris accumulated in the
electrode with a steel brush;
4. Measure the distance between the electrodes with a
suitable tool. The distance must be between 0.6-0.7
mm. If necessary, bend the electrode until the
appropriate gap is reached.;
5. Perform a spark plug test:
▪
Connect the spark plug to the spark plug cap;
▪
Keep the spark plug electrode in contact with the
engine body and simultaneously pull the handle of
the recoil starter;
▪
If the spark between the electrodes is weak or non-
existent, test with a new spark plug.;
▪
If the problem remains with the new spark plug,
repair or replace the ignition system;
6. Make sure the sealing washer is in good condition;
7. Place the spark plug by hand to avoid damage to the
thread and fasten in such a way as to compress the
sealing washer using the wrench provided. The loose
spark plug may overheat and cause engine damage.
8. Place the side cover and the spark plug access cover.
Storage and cleaning
Preparing the storage over long periods is vital to avoid
problems and increase the service life of the generator.
Storage
Never store the generator with gasoline in the tank.
Depending on the region and storage conditions, the
petrol can deteriorate and oxidize, causing damage to
the combustion system, difficult start-ups and
blockages caused by the particulate filter tank.
If you have stored your generator with petrol on the
tank, please follow the recommendations presented in
considering the previous storage period:
Less than 1 month:
▪
Follow the usual procedure;
1month to 1 year:
▪
Take all the petrol out of the tank.
▪
Run the engine until it stops due to lack of fuel;
Over 1 year:
▪
Take all the petrol out of the tank;
▪
Run the engine until it stops due to lack of fuel;
▪
Change the oil;
▪
Remove the spark plug and put engine oil (5-10 cl)
on the cylinder.
▪
Pull the recoil starter to distribute the oil in the
cylinder and reinstall the spark plug;
▪
Pull the recoil starter slowly while feeling
resistance. The piston is rising and the intake and
exhaust valves are closed. Leaving the engine in
this position will help protect from internal
corrosion;
