10. Transport and storage:
10.1
Generator transport.
To avoid spillages of fuel during transport of the generator, the fuel valve must
always be closed and the generator must be tied (so that it does not move).
NOTE: The generator must be transported in its natural working position.
Never transport the generator in other position (vertically or horizontally).
DANGER: Never start the generator inside of a transport vehicle. The
generator should only be used in good conditions of ventilation.
DANGER: When parked and with the generator inside, the transport vehicle
must not be exposed to the sun for a long time. Excessive temperature increases
(caused by the sun exposure) and will evaporate the gasoline and to promote an
explosive environment inside the vehicle.
WARNING: In case of transport, do not fill too much the fuel tank.
CAUTION: To empty the fuel tank if the generator will be transported over
rough roads or fields.
10.2
Generator storage.
When stored for long periods of time, gasoline loses its properties and creates
waste. That can block the fuel path to the carburettor, making it difficult or
impossible the generator starting. If the generator does not run for long periods of
time, it is necessary to apply certain procedures.
Sporadic uses throughout the year:
With occasional use it is possible that the generator will have difficulties with the
starting. To avoid this, ensure that the generator runs at least 30 minutes per
month, and thus, the gasoline in the admission circuit is renewed.
Long periods of inactivity:
It is considered the stops with more than 6 months, which may cause difficulties or
even directly avoid the starting, and produce an unstable speed on the engine. To
avoid it:
