Storing The Generating Set; Fault Finding - SDMO SH 6000-2 UK Generating Set User And Maintenance Manual

8. Storing the generating set

Generating sets which are to remain unused for a long period of time must undergo certain procedures, in order to keep them in good condition.
Check that the storage area is not dusty or humid. Clean the exterior of the generating set and apply rustproofing product.
Close the fuel tap (O position), remove the sediment bowl and drain it.
Open the fuel tap (I position) and drain the petrol from the tank into a suitable container.
Refit the sediment bowl and tighten fully.
Drain the carburettor by loosening the drain screw. Collect the petrol in a suitable container.
Change the engine oil.
Remove the spark plug and pour about 15 ml of oil into the cylinder, then refit the spark plug.
Leave the engine to run for a few moments to distribute the oil in the cylinder.
Clean the generating set and cover the engine again to protect it from dust.
Store the generating set in a clean, dry place.
