3. Keep the power unit level so that no petrol is
spilled. Petrol vapour or spilled petrol may ignite.
4. Ensure that the power unit does not fall and do not
subject it to any blows during transport.
12. Storage
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and
frost-free place that is inaccessible to children. The op-
timum storage temperature lies between 5 and 30 ˚C.
Store the tool in its original packaging. Cover the tool
to protect it from dust or moisture. Store the operating
manual with the tool.
When storing for a long period of time
1. Empty the fuel tank and run the carburettor empty.
2. Unscrew the spark plug.
3. Pour approximately 20 ml of clean engine oil
through the spark plug hole into the cylinder.
4. Pull the starter rope out slowly so that the oil dis-
tributes itself in the engine and screw the spark
plug back in.
5. Remove all dirt, deposits and dust from the engine
and the cylinder head ridges.
6. Clean the air filter or replace it if it is very dirty.
7. Store the generator securely in a dry place that is
inaccessible to children.
8. The unit may not be stored in the open.
9. Cover the unit and the engine to protect against
dust and store in a clean, dry place.
When re-commissioning after a long period of
storage
1. Change the engine oil.
2. Fill with fresh petrol before starting the motor after
the storage period.
If the engine is not used for more than one month,
changes to the petrol quality may result in difficulties
starting the engine or in other issues. To prevent this,
loosen the carburettor's drain screw and allow the pet-
rol to run out. Also open the fuel valve so that the petrol
drains from the tank.
13. Maintenance
Attention!
Always shut the engine down and remove the spark
plug connector before carrying out any maintenance
work.

head.
