8. Appendix and Suggestions
1. Storage
It is necessary to store the generator in correct way to keep generator in good
condition. Following steps are to protect the generator from rust and corrosion
which would damage its performance and appearance.
①
Cleaning
If the generator has just run over, clean it after cooling at least 2 hours. Then
clean the surface of generators, paint the damage part, and coat with a thin
layer of film.
②
Fuel
Diesel fuel deteriorates during storage, which will make the starting of the
generator more difficult and produce glue materials that would clog the fuel
system. It is necessary to clean or replace the fuel system if diesel fuel
deteriorates during storage.
2. Storage instructions
①
Do not touch the muffler. Around the exhaust port of the muffler is very hot
while generator is running and the heat will remain for some time after
generator stops. To prevent burn or fire, do not move the generator into the
storage room until it is cooled.
②
Storage room should be of good ventilation and far from fire place like stove,
water heater, dryer, etc, in order to avoid possible serious injury and damage to
equipment. Storage room should not be in the wet areas which would cause the
generator rust and corrosion.
③
Put the generator on a level surface as tilting may cause fuel or oil leaks.
3. Transport
①
If the generator has just run over, please do the shipment after cooling two hours
because the exhausting system is still very hot which may burn you or cause a
fire.
②
Put the generator on a level surface while shipping to prevent leaking the oil.
