13. Transportation and storage
13.1 Generator transportation
To avoid any fuel spilling during transporting keep the fuel selector in OFF and
fasten the machine so it cannot move.
NOTE: Never place the machine on its side or facing down during
transportation, keep it in its natural working position at all times.
DANGER: Never use the generator inside the transportation vehicle. The
generator should be used only in good ventilation conditions.
DANGER: Do not leave you vehicle parked in the sun for too long while the
generator is inside. An excessive rise in temperatures could evaporate the
gasoline and form an explosive environment in the vehicle.
WARNING: Do not overfill the tank if the equipment is going to be transported.
CAUTION: Empty the fuel tank when the generator is transported on a bumpy
road or cross country.
13.2 Generator storage.
Gasoline loses its properties if stagnant for too long and it leaves residues that
may clog the carburetor, complicating or impeding the startup after a temporary
storage. If the generator will be not using temporarily follow this instructions:
Infrequent service during year.
If the unit is used infrequently, difficult starting may result. To eliminate hard
starting, follow these instructions:
1. Run the generator at least 30 minutes every month.
2. When you go to finish the use, firs disconnect loads, then close the fuel
shut-off valve and allow the unit to run until the engine stops.
3. Move the engine switch to the "OFF" position.
