7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage
and ordering of spare parts
Switch off the motor and pull the spark plug boot
from the spark plug before doing any cleaning and
maintenance work on the equipment.
Notice! Switch off the machine immediately and
contact your service station:

misfires
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the mo-
tor housing free of dirt and dust as far as pos-
sible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth
or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning
agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device.
7.2 Air fi lter
In this connection, please also read the service
information.
•
Clean the air filter at regular intervals, and
replace it if necessary.
•
Open both clips (Fig. 11/A) and remove the air
filter cover (Fig. 11/B).
•
Remove the filter elements (Fig. 12/C)
•
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or petrol
to clean the elements.
•
Clean the elements by tapping them on a flat
surface. In cases of stubborn dirt first clean
with soapy water, then rinse with clear water
and air-dry.
•
Assemble in reverse order
7.3 Spark plug (Fig. 13-14)
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 20

7.4 Changing the oil and checking the oil le-
vel (before using the machine)
The motor oil is best changed when the motor is
at working temperature.
•
Place the generator on a slightly inclined sur-
face so that the oil drain plug is at the lower
end.
•
Open the oil filler plug.
•
Open the oil drain plug and let the hot engine
oil drain out into a drip tray.
•
After the old oil has drained out, close the oil
drain plug and place the generator on a level
surface again
•
Fill in engine oil up to the top mark on the oil
dip stick.
•
Important: Do not screw the dipstick in to
check the oil level, simply insert it up to the
thread.
•
Dispose of the waste oil properly.
7.5 Automatic oil cut-out
The automatic oil cut-out responds if there is too
little oil in the engine. In this case it will not be
possible to start the engine or it will cut out auto-
matically after a short period of time. It cannot be
started again until the engine oil has been topped
up (see point 7.4).
7.6 Changing a defective fuse
Open the fuse holder (Fig. 16a/Item A) and repla-
ce the defective fuse (Fig. 16b) with a new one.
Caution! Use only fuses of the same type previ-
ously installed in the respective fuse holder.
Pay attention in particular to the maximum current
strength (engraved in the fuse).
If you have any doubt, please contact our Custo-
mer Service or a qualifi ed electrician.
7.7 Maintenance

There are no parts inside the equipment
which require additional maintenance.
7.8 Storage
•
Leave the machine to cool (approx. 5 minu-
tes).
•
Clean the exterior housing of the machine.
•
Store the machine in a cold, dry place where
it is out of the reach of ignition sources and
inflammable substances.
