7. Maintenance procedures

7.1. Cleaning the air filter (diagram B)
Never use petrol or solvents with a low flash point for cleaning the air filter element as this could result in a fire or explosion.
Danger
Open the enclosure double panel.
Unfasten both retaining clips (1) from air filter cover (2) and remove the cover.
Remove foam element (3). Check carefully that it has no rips or holes. Replace it if it is damaged.
Wash the element in a solution of household cleaning product and warm water, then rinse thoroughly, or wash it in non-flammable solvent or solvent
with a high flash point. Leave the element to dry fully.
Soak the element in clean motor oil and remove the excess oil. The engine will smoke when it is started for the first time if too much oil remains in the
foam.
Clean the inside of the cover and the mounting with detergent and refit the foam element
Refit the filter cover and ensure that it is clipped securely in place, then close the enclosure panel again.
7.2. Replacing the fuel filter (diagram D)
Fuel is a highly flammable substance which may combust in certain conditions. Do not smoke or bring naked flames or sparks near to
it.
After refitting the filter, check that there are no leaks and that the area is dry before starting the generating set.
Danger
Open the enclosure panel.
Close the fuel tap (1).
Observe the direction of fitting for the filter.
Unclip both mounting clips (2) from fuel filter (3) on the piping and remove the filter. Recover the fuel in a suitable container.
Refit a new filter to the piping and ensure it is properly secured by the clips (check that the direction of fitting is correct).
Open fuel tap (1) and ensure that there are no leaks, then close the enclosure panel again.

7.3. Starter battery maintenance

Never place the battery close to a flame or fire
Use only insulated tools
Never use sulphuric acid or acid water to top up the electrolyte level.
Danger
Open the enclosure panels and remove the battery (refer to procedure in Section 7.4).
Remove the battery caps.
Check the electrolyte level and top up if necessary; only use de-ionised water.
Check the charge status using an acidimeter and recharge if necessary.
Refit the caps and refit the battery (refer to procedure in Section 7.4).
Ensure that the connections are tightened correctly and generally clean, then close the enclosure panels again.
NOTE: Replace the battery if it will not charge or if its charge disappears too quickly.
7.4. Renewing the motor oil (diagrams A and C)
To ensure that drainage is rapid and complete, change the oil when the motor is still warm.
Open the enclosure double panel.
Undo connection bolts (no.1, diag. C) on the "-" terminal then the "+" terminal.
Important: Do not misplace the nuts for the bolts.
Loosen the bolts (no.2, diag. C) mounting retaining plate (no.3, diag. C) and remove the retaining plate.
Disconnect the overflow pipe (no.4, diag C) and remove the battery (no.17, diag. A).
Remove the filler cap/dipstick (no.3, diag. A) and the drain plug (no.4, diag. A) and drain the oil into a suitable container.
When drained, screw drain plug back in fully (no.4, diag. A).
Fill the motor oil sump using the recommended oil.
Position the filler cap/dipstick (no.3, diag. A).
After filling, check that there are no oil leaks, and wipe away any traces of oil with a clean cloth.
Refit the battery proceeding in the reverse order to removal (reconnect the "+" terminal then the "-" terminal), then close the enclosure panel again.

7.5. Checking bolts, nuts and screws

Daily, detailed checks of all nuts, bolts and screws are essential in order to prevent any accidents or breakdowns.
Inspect the generating set as a whole before and after each use.
Tighten any loose nuts or screws.
NB: the tightening of cylinder head bolts should be carried out by a specialist. Contact your local agent.
