Transport And Storage
WARNING: Gasoline is highly flammable and extremely explosive. Empty the fuel tank and shut
off fuel tap before storing or transporting this generating set.
We can move the generator with its carrying handle.
To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary storage, the generating set should be
secured upright in its normal operating position, with the fuel tap OFF.
When transporting
● Do not overfill the tank.
● Do not operate the generating set while it is on vehicle. Take the generating set off the vehicle and use
it in a well-ventilated place. Avoid a place exposed to direct sunlight when putting the generating set on a
vehicle. If the generating set is left in an enclosed vehicle for many hours, high temperature inside the
vehicle could cause fuel to vaporize resulting in a possible explosion.
● The generator must not be transported a long time on rough road. If you have to drive on a road like
this,drain off the gasoline and oil beforehand.
When storage for a long period
The generating set should be started at least once every 2 weeks and allowed to run for at least 20 minutes.
Follow the instructions below for longer term storage if the generating set will be out of service for 2
months or more.
● Allow the generating set to cool completely before storage.
● Clean the generating set according to instruction in maintenance section.
● Drain all fuel completely from the fuel tank, fuel hose and carburetor to prevent gum from forming.
● Turn off the fuel supply at the fuel valve.
● Change the oil.
● Reattach the spark plug.
● Remove the spark plug and pour about 15ml of oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine slowly to
distribute the oil and lubricate the cylinder.
● Store the unit in a clean, dry area out of direct sunlight.
