10. Cleaning

m WARNING
Carry out maintenance work only with the stopped
engine. Pull the spark plug cap from the spark plug
We recommend that you clean the equipment imme-
diately after you use it. Clean the equipment regularly
with a damp cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may be aggressive
to the plastic parts in the equipment. Ensure that no
water can get into the interior of the equipment.

11. Transport

1 Allow the engine to cool before transporting.
2 Before transporting the power unit, switch the
ignition (14) to the (off) position and turn the fuel
valve (18) to the (off) position shown at machine.
3 Keep the power unit level so that no petrol is
spilled. Petrol vapour or spilled petrol may ignite.
4 Ensure that the power unit does not fall and do
not subject it to any blows during transport.

12. Storage

Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry
and frost-proof place that is inaccessible to children.
The optimum storage temperature is between 5 and
30˚C.
Cover the electrical tool in order to protect it from
dust and moisture.
Store the operating manual with the electrical tool.
When storing for a long period of time
1 Empty the fuel tank and run the carburettor empty.
2 Unscrew the spark plug.
3 Pour approximately 20 ml of clean engine oil
through the spark plug hole into the cylinder.
4 Pull the starter rope out slowly so that the oil dis-
tributes itself in the engine and screw the spark
plug back in.
5 Remove all dirt, deposits and dust from the en-
gine and the cylinder head ridges.
6 Clean the air filter or replace it if it is very dirty.
7 Store the generator securely in a dry place that
is inaccessible to children.
8 The unit may not be stored in the open.
9 Cover the unit and the engine to protect against
dust and store in a clean, dry place.
When re-commissioning after a long period of
storage
1 Change the engine oil.
2 Fill with fresh petrol before starting the motor after
the storage period.
If the engine is not used for more than one month,
changes to the petrol quality may result in difficulties
starting the engine or in other issues. To prevent this,
loosen the carburettor's drain screw and allow the
petrol to run out. Also open the fuel valve so that the
petrol drains from the tank.

13. Maintenance

m WARNING

1 Remove the spark plug connector (d) and clean
any dirt from the spark plug area.
2 Unscrew the spark plug (e) and check it.
3 If there is any damage, e.g. cracks or chips, re-
place the spark plug.

5 Check and set the electrode gap (0,6 mm)
6 Screw the spark plug in and tighten with the spark
plug spanner.
