Maintaining The Air Filter; Maintaining The Spark Plug - GMC GGEN700 Bedienungsanleitung

Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly,
and shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush,
or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation
holes
• Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth to clean parts contaminated with oil or fuel. Rinse
with fresh water and dry thoroughly
• Keep all electric and electronic components dry at all times

Maintaining the air filter

WARNING: Never run this generator without the air filter
element fitted, as this would lead to rapid wear of internal
components, causing permanent engine damage and shorten
the service life of this generator.
1. Release the two screws of the Air Filter Cover (7) using a
suitable Phillips screwdriver (not included), and remove
the Air Filter Cover
2. Remove the air filter element from its frame
3. Wash the filter element thoroughly in a solution of warm
water with non-foamy household detergent, or clean with a specialised non-flammable
solvent
WARNING: DO NOT use petrol or other flammable solvents to clean the filter element, as this
could lead to fire or explosion.
4. Dry the filter element thoroughly
WARNING: DO NOT wring out the element, as this would damage the sponge material.
WARNING: NEVER install a wet filter element, as water in the air intake will lead to
permanent engine damage.
5. Immerse the dried filter element in clean engine oil, or alternatively, apply specialised air
filter oil to the filter element. Gently squeeze (but DO NOT wring out) to remove excess
oil.
Note: If the filter element is installed soaked in excessive amounts of oil, the engine will
produce large amounts of smoke after being started.
6. Reinstall the filter element in its frame inside the air filter housing, reinstall the Air Filter
Cover and fasten both screws

Maintaining the spark plug

Note: To ensure proper engine operation, the Spark Plug
(15) must be kept free of deposits, with the electrode properly
gapped.
WARNING: Switch off the Engine Switch (8) and wait until the
engine has cooled completely, before attempting to remove
the Spark Plug.
1. Pull the Spark Plug Cap (14) off the top of the Spark Plug
2. Clean any dirt from the Spark Plug Cap or the top of the
Spark Plug
3. Use the included spark plug wrench to loosen the Spark Plug, by turning
it anticlockwise. Once loosened, remove the Spark Plug by hand
4. Visually inspect the Spark Plug. Discard if the ceramic
insulation is cracked, or if you detect any other damage
5. If any deposits are visible around he electrode area, brush off
with a brass wire spark plug brush (not included)
WARNING: Never clean spark plugs by sandblasting.
Note: If damage to the electrodes becomes visible during or after
cleaning, the Spark Plug needs to be replaced (see 'Specification'
for compatible types).
6. Check electrode gap with a feeler gauge or specialised spark
plug gap tool (both not included), and adjust if necessary
7. Reinstall the Spark Plug by screwing it into the engine by
hand, and tightening it with the spark plug wrench
Note: When fitting a new, previously unused spark plug, it should
be seated by hand and then tightened about 1/2 turn with a
wrench, to compress its washer. A previously fitted spark plug
only requires 1/8 to 1/4 turn, after being seated by hand. The
use of a torque wrench to set spark plugs is recommended. The
correct torque for this device is 20Nm.
WARNING: The spark plug must be securely tightened. An improperly tightened spark plug
can become very hot and damage the generator.
WARNING: Never fit a spark plug with an improper heat range (see 'Specification' for
compatible types).
8. Push fit the Spark Plug Cap
Cleaning the Fuel Mesh Filter
1. Open the Fuel Cap (6) and remove the Fuel Mesh Filter (12) by pulling it out of the fuel
tank opening
2 Wash the filter with clean petrol or a compatible washing solution
3. Dry thoroughly and insert the Fuel Mesh Filter back into the Fuel Tank Opening
Draining carburettor
Note: This may be necessary for storage or transport, or if you experience starting difficulties
due to contaminated fuel.
1. Switch off the Fuel Shut-Off Valve (11)
2. Place a suitable container, e.g. a bowl, under the carburettor and open the bottom drain
screw of the carburettor
3. Refit the carburettor drain screw when finished
