The engine oil change should take place when the
engine is at operating temperature.
• When changing the oil, have a non-leaking con-
tainer available.
• Remove the engine cover (Fig. 6-7 Pos. 5)
• Open the oil filler plug (Fig. 9 Pos. D)
• Drain the old oil into a suitable container by tilting
the generator.
• Fill the engine oil to the upper mark of the dipstick
using the oil-filling container.
• Dispose of the oil in accordance with stipulations.
Take the old oil to a collection point. Most petrol
stations, garages or recycling centres take back old
oil free of charge.
Air filter

Frequently cleaning of the air filter prevents carbure-
tor malfunction.

Cleaning
• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust. Wipe the equipment
with a clean cloth or clean it with compressed air
at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean your device after
each use.
• Clean the unit regularly with a damp cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; they may damage the plastic parts of the
appliance. Make sure that no water can get inside
the unit.

10. Storage

1. Perform all general maintenance, which are in
the User's Guide in the Maintenance section.
2. Let the fuel out of the tank (Use a commercially
plastic fuel pump from the hardware store).
3. After the fuel is drained, start the machine.
4. Let the machine in idlespeed running until it
stops. That cleans the carburetor from the re-
maining fuel.
5. Let the machine cool down. (about 5 minutes)
6. Remove the spark plug.
7. Fill a small amount of 2-stroke engine oil into the
firing chamber. Pull out several times the starter
cord gently to wet the internal components with
the oil.
8. Replace the spark plug.
9. Clean the outer casing of the machine.
10. Keep the machine on a cold, dry place out of
reach of ignition sources and flammable sub-
stances.
