7.5. Replacing the fuel filter
Fuel is a highly flammable substance which may combust under certain conditions. Do not smoke or bring naked
flames or sparks near to it.
After refitting the filter, check that there are no leaks and that the area is dry before starting the generating set.
Danger
Open the engine cover by undoing the clamps either side and position the support stay to keep the cover open.
Observe the direction of fitting for the filter.
Undo the two retaining clips (no. 1, fig. F) from pipes on the fuel filter (no. 2, fig. F) and remove the filter. Recover the fuel in a
suitable container.
Refit a new filter to the pipes and ensure it is properly secured by the clips (check that the direction of fitting is correct).
Check that there are no leaks.
Remove the support stay and replace it in its housing, then close the engine cover and lock the clamps.

Tighten any loose nuts or screws.
NB: the tightening of cylinder head bolts should be carried out by a specialist. Contact your local agent.

Check the general condition of the generating set and, if necessary, replace any faulty parts.
8. Storing the generating set
Generating sets which are to remain unused for a long period of time must undergo certain procedures, in order to keep
them in good condition. Check that the storage area is not dusty or damp. Clean the exterior of the generating set and
apply rustproofing product.
While the motor is still warm, drain the oil from the sump and replace it with new oil.
Drain the fuel from the fuel tank into an appropriate container.
