Cleaning:
The generator must be entirely cleaned after use.
Clean the engine by hand (avoid introducing water into the
air filter and exhaust). Avoid wetting the controls and other
equipment / attachments that are difficult to dry. Water
stimulates the appearance of corrosion and rust on metal
parts and causes damage to electrical equipment.
Do not use aggressive cleaning products. These products
may damage plastics and metals, compromising the safe
operation of the generator.
Maintenance:
Only maintenance works described in this instruction
manual may be carried out, all other works must be
performed by an official distributor.
If you lack the necessary knowledge and resources, you
should always ask an official distributor.
Use only VITO-approved attachments for this generator or
technically identical parts. Failure to do so may result in
personal injuries or damages to the generator. If in doubt,
you should contact an official distributor.
For safety reasons, the fuel injection components (hoses,
tank, tank cap and couplings) should be checked regularly
for damage and leaks. If necessary, they should be
replaced by an official distributor.
Keep warning and information stickers always clean and
legible.
Keep all nuts and bolts well tightened in order to ensure a
safe operation.
If any components or safety devices are removed for
maintenance
works,
immediately.

Allow the combustion engine to cool down before storing
the appliance in a closed compartment. During operation,
the exhaust gets extremely hot and remains so for a few
minutes after shutting down the engine. Avoid touching the
exhaust while it is hot.
Never store the generator with diesel in the tank inside a
building. Diesel vapours may come into contact with flames
or sparks and ignite.
Store the generator in a dry area, with the fuel tank empty
in a well-ventilated location. Avoid places with high
humidity to avoid the appearance of corrosion and rust.
If you want to empty the tank, for example before the winter
period, the fuel tank should only be emptied outdoors.
Store the generator in a good operating condition.
Ensure that the generator is protected against misuse (e.g.,
by children).
The generator should only be serviced by the brand's
technical assistance center, or other qualified personnel,
replacing any necessary parts with original parts.
