MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE :
Although a maintenance operation frequency is given in the
maintenance schedule, please note that the environment
in which the motor operates determines the maintenance
schedule. Therefore, it is necessary to understand that, if
the motor is working under extreme conditions, shorter
intervals should be adopted between operations. Use the
schedule opposite to prepare your own schedule adapted to
your specific operating conditions.
These maintenance periods only apply to motors running
with fuel and oil in compliance with the specifications given
in this booklet.
*This operation must be performed by an experienced
technician (contact your regional agent). For details on ope-
rations, refer to the relevant sections.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
The generator sets to be stored for over 30 days must under-
go special operations to ensure their correct storage.
1- To protect the motor, we recommend the use of Briggs
& Stratton petrol additive, Reference No. 5041(see figure I),
available for all approved distributors. Add the additive in
the fuel tank or in a storage tank. Run the motor for a few
moments to circulate the additive in the carburettor. The
motor and the fuel can then be stored for not more than
24 months.
2- While the motor is still hot, drain the oil from the casing.
Replace it with new oil of a suitable grade.
3- Remove the spark plug and pour approximately 15 ml of
motor oil into the cylinder. Reassemble the spark plug and
run the motor to distribute the oil.
4- Remove dirt from the cylinders, cylinder head blades,
cooling casing, wheel grille and silencer.
5- Clean the generator set.
6- Seal the AC generator air inlet and outlets with plastic
adhesive tape.
7- Store the generator set in a clean and dry place.
MAINTENANCE REPAIRS
If maintenance or repairs are required, contact one of our
approved agents. For quick and effective service, your agent
will need to know the model, type and code numbers of your
generator set.
