8. Cleaning, maintenance,
storage, transport and
ordering of spare parts
Switch off the motor and pull the spark plug
boot from the spark plug before doing any
cleaning and maintenance work on the
equipment.
Important: Switch off the equipment
immediately and contact your service
station:
In the event of unusual vibrations or noise
If the engine appears to be overloaded or
misfires
8.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents (Fig.
2/Item L) and the motor housing free of dirt
and dust as far as possible. Wipe the
equipment with a clean cloth or blow it down
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the
equipment immediately 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.
8.2 Air filter
In this connection, please also read the service
information.
Clean the air filter at regular intervals, and
replace it if necessary.
Open both clips (Fig. 11/A) and remove the
air filter cover (Fig. 11/B).
Remove the filter elements (Fig. 12/C)
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or
petrol to clean the elements.
Clean the elements by tapping them on a
flat surface. In cases of stubborn dirt first
clean with soapy water, then rinse with clear
water and air-dry.
Assemble in reverse order.

8.3 Spark plug (Fig. 13-14)
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 20
hours of operation and if necessary clean it with
a copper wire brush. Thereafter service the
spark plug after every 50 hours of operation.
Pull off the spark plug boot (Fig. 13) by
twisting.
Remove the spark plug (Fig. 14/D) with the
supplied spark plug wrench (25).
Assemble in reverse order.
8.4 Changing the oil and checking the oil
level (before using the equipment)
The motor oil is best changed when the motor
is at working temperature.
Only use motor oil (15W40).
Place the generator on a slightly inclined
surface so that the oil drainage screw (8) is
at the lower end.
Open the oil filler screw (7).
Open the oil drainage screw and let the hot
engine oil drain out into a drip tray.
After the old oil has drained out, close the oil
drainage screw and place the generator on
a level surface again
Fill in engine oil up to the top mark on the oil
dip stick (approx. 0.6 liters).
Important: Do not screw the dipstick (oil filler
screw) in to check the oil level, simply insert
it up to the thread.
Dispose of the waste oil properly.
8.5 Automatic oil cut-out
The automatic oil cut-out responds if there is
too little oil in the engine. In this case it will not
be possible to start the engine or it will cut out
automatically after a short period of time. It
cannot be started again until the engine oil has
been topped up (see point 8.4).
