Storage
If you are going to store your generator for more than 30
days, use the following information as a guide to prepare the
generator for storage.
Never store generator with fuel in the tank indoors or in
enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fumes can reach
an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water
heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.
Ensure the fuel tank is fully drained of fuel.
Open the drain 16 on the carburettor to drain the fuel totally
from the bowl.
Check the fuel tap is turned off.
Spark plugs
1. Remove spark plug (15) from the generator with the
spark plug spanner socket supplied.
2. Remove carbon deposits using a wire brush.
3. Check for discoloration on the top of the spark plug.
The standard colour should be a tan colour.
4. Check the spark plug gap. The acceptable gap should be
between 0.7 – 0.8mm (Fig. T).
5. The recommended spark plugs are as follows:
BPR6ES (NGK)
RN11YC (Champion)
WR6DC (Bosch)
Model G1100KU
W7RBC (Bosch)
RL87BC(Champion)
BPR7HS (NGK)
Engine oil replacement
1. Place the generator on a level surface and warm up the
engine for several minutes. The stop the engine.
2. Remove oil filler cap (7).
3. Place an oil pan under the generator and commence
removing the oil drain plug (25) so that the oil can be
completely drained.
4. Check the oil drain plug (25), gasket, oil filler cap (7) and
O-ring. If damaged, have these replaced.
5. Reinstall the oil drain plug (25).
6. Add engine oil to the upper level. Recommended 4 stroke
engine oil is SAE #30.
CAUTION.
Check that no foreign material, debris, dust
enters the crankcase.
Air filter
It is very important to maintain an air filter in proper
condition. Damage to the generator may arise if the filter has:
•
Improperly been serviced.
•
Dirt and other foreign elements adhering to the filter due
to improper installation and engine wear.
ALWAYS
keep the filter clean at all times.
