Transporting And Storing The Generating Set; Storage Conditions - SDMO PRO 2000 Manual De Utilización

6 Transporting and storing the generating set

6.1 Transport and handling conditions
Before transporting the generating set, check that the bolts are correctly tightened, close the fuel tap (if fitted) and disconnect the
battery (if fitted). The generating set should be transported in its normal operating position; never lay it on its side. A pump unit
should be handled gently and brusque movements should be avoided. Ensure that the place where it is to be stored or used is
carefully prepared beforehand.

spark plug opening before refitting the spark plug.
12. Refit the side enclosure by retightening it and its screws.
13. Pull the starter-recoil handle several times (A12) to distribute the oil.
Store the generating set:
14. Clean the outside of the generating set with a cloth and apply an anti-rust product to the damaged areas.
15. Cover the generating set with a protective cover and store it vertically in a clean, dry and well-ventilated place.
This procedure for storing the generating set or protecting it over the winter must be respected if the generating set is not used for a
limited period of 1 year. For longer periods of storage, it is recommended to contact your nearest agent or to start up the generating
set for a few hours every year, and respect the storage procedure after doing so.
