7. Maintenance procedures
Stop the motor before carrying out any maintenance procedure.
To make allowances for any accidental spillage, switch off the motor ignition and disconnect the spark plug cap(s).
Only use original parts or equivalent. The use of spare parts of a different quality can damage the generating set.
Warning
7.1. Cleaning the air filter
Never use petrol or flammable solvents for cleaning the air filter element as this could result in a fire or explosion.
Danger
❶ Open the enclosure with a screwdriver
❷ Remove the air filter cover (1), then take out the elements and separate them. Carefully check if the elements are not ripped and
have no holes, replace them if they are damaged.
❸ Wash the foam element (2) with a household detergent diluted in warm water. Leave to dry fully.
❹ Gently tap the paper element several times (3). on a hard surface, to remove excess dirt. Never try to remove dirt using a brush.
This will just push the dirt into the fibres. Replace the paper element, if it is too dirty.
❺ Reinsert the air filter elements and refit the cover in the opposite order to removal.
❻ Close the enclosure.
7.2. Renewing the motor oil
Change the oil when the engine is still hot, to ensure that drainage is rapid and complete.
❶ Open the enclosure with a screwdriver
❷ Remove the oil filler cap and drain plug, and drain the oil into a suitable container.
❸ When this is done, screw the drain plug back in tightly and then fill, with recommended oil, to upper marker on the dipstick. (see
paragraph 3.1).
❹ Check that there are no leaks
❺ Close the enclosure.
