8. Maintenance

Shut down the engine before doing any cleaning and
maintenance work on the unit.
Remove dust and dirt from the machine at regular
intervals. Cleaning is best carried out with a fine brush
or a cloth.
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
n
Take the diesel mixture out of the generator if
n
you do not intend to use it for a lengthy period of
time
Important: Switch off the machine immediately
and contact your service station:
In the event of unusual vibrations or noise.
n
If the engine appears to be overloaded or runs
n
unevenly.
8.1 Changing the oil and checking the oil level
(before using the machine)
The engine oil should be changed for the first time
when the engine is warm after approx. 20 hours of
service. After this the engine oil must be changed
every 150 hours of service when the engine is warm.
Use only engine oil (15W40)
n
Place the generator unit on a suitable flat surface
n
Undo the oil filler screw (Fig. 5/Item C)
n
Undo the oil drain screw (Fig. 5/Item D) and
n
drain the warm engine oil through the drain
channel into a container.
After all the oil has drained out, tighten the oil
n
drain screw and clean the drain channel with a
cloth.
Add engine oil up to the top mark on the oil
n
dipstick.
Important: Do not screw the dipstick in to check
the oil level, simply insert it up to the thread.
Dispose of the waste oil properly.
n
8.2 Cleaning the air filter (see Fig. 8-13)
Check the air filter before every use, clean or
n
replace it if necessary.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or petrol to
n
clean the elements.
Clean the elements by tapping them on a flat
n
surface.
8.3 Cleaning the diesel filter (Fig. 6)
The diesel filter (Fig. 6/Item G) must be cleaned if
impurities can be seen in the inspection window (Fig.
6/Item H). To clean the diesel filter you will need a
funnel connected to a petrol/diesel-resistant fuel
hose, petrol/diesel-resistant gloves and an empty
diesel fuel canister (IMPORTANT: never mix petrol
and diesel).
Close the fuel cock (Fig. 6/Item E).
n
Loosen the knurled nut (Fig. 6/Item F).
n
Insert the fuel hose connected to the funnel into
n
the diesel canister and hold the funnel under the
inspection window (Fig. 6/Item H).
Undo the knurled nut (Fig. 6/Item F) completely
n
and drain the clean residual quantity of diesel
from the inspection window into the funnel.
Mop up the contaminated residual quantity of
n
diesel using cleaning paper. Clean the inspection
window.
Pull the diesel filter downwards off the diesel
n
filter holder, remove the remains of the dirt on
the diesel filter with the cleaning paper using a
little diesel fuel if necessary, or if it is damaged
replace the diesel filter. Dispose of the cleaning
paper.
Assemble in reverse order.

8.4 Draining the tank

To drain the tank, proceed initially as if you were
n
cleaning the diesel filter.
After removing the diesel filter, position the
n
funnel under the diesel filter holder (Fig. 6/Item I)
and open the fuel cock (Fig. 6/Item E).
Drain the diesel fuel out of the tank through the
n
funnel and into the diesel canister.
(IMPORTANT: Ensure that the diesel canister is
large enough to hold all the fuel left in the tank!).
If necessary the draining process can be stopped
n
by closing the fuel cock.
After the draining process has been completed,
n
re-assemble the device as described in point 8.3.
