15 TRANSPORT / STORAGE
§ If the motor still contains motor oil and/or petrol, it may be transported and stored only in
an upright position
§ Make sure that the petrol cock is closed and that the motor switch is set to "OFF".
§ Avoid the sun's direct rays - especially when transporting in a vehicle or mobile home. The
heat can evaporate the petrol in the carburettor, which can escape as an explosive gas.
§ In the event of shaking or vibrations, (e.g. when crossing agricultural land) a small amount
of petrol can escape through the overflow of the carburettor. Look out for the
corresponding odour.
Long term storage
Long term storage of your machine will require some preventive procedures to guard against
deterioration.
15.1 Drain the fuel

§ Shake the tank.
§ Drain off the excess oil.
§ ENGINE Pour in about one tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40 motor oil.
§ Use the recoil starter to turn the engine over several times (with ignition off).
§ pull the recoil starter until you feel compression.
§ Stop pulling.
§ Clean exterior of the generator and apply a rust inhibitor.
§ Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated place.
§ The generator must remain in a horizontal position.
Note : After a long term storage : change the engine oil before starting
§ Storage place: the environment should be dry and dust-free. If necessary, cover the
generator with a cloth.
