X. Transport and storage
 The engine and the exhaust pipe are very hot during
operation and remain hot for a long time after the
generator is turned off, therefore, do not touch them.
To prevent burns during handling and combustion
hazards during storage, allow the generator to cool
down before handling and storing it.

TRANSPORTING THE GENERATOR

 Transport the generator exclusively in a horizontal
position, suitably secured against movement and
impacts in the transportation area.
 Set the motor shut-off switch to the "OFF" position.
 The fuel supply valve must be closed and the fuel tank
lock must be firmly pulled tight.
 Never start up the generator during transport. Always
take the generator out of the vehicle prior to starting it.
 When transporting it in an enclosed vehicle, always
keep in mind that under strong solar radiation and
a higher ambient temperature inside the vehicle, tem-
perature will increase extremely and there is a risk of
combustion or explosion of petrol fumes.
BEFORE STORING THE GENERATOR
FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
 When storing it, ensure that the temperature does not
fall below -15°C or increase over 40 °C.
 Protect it against direct sunlight.
 Drain all fuel from the fuel tank and fuel hoses, and
close the fuel valve.
 Purge carburettor.
 Change the oil.
 Clean the external part of the engine.
 Screw out the spark plug and allow approx. 1 teaspoon
of motor oil to flow into the cylinder, and then pull the
handle of the manual starter 2-3×. This will create an
even protective oil film in the area of the cylinder. Then
screw the spark plug back in.
 Pull on the handle of the manual starter and stop the
piston in the top end position. In this way, the exhaust
and suction valve will remain closed.
 Place the generator into a safe dry room.

XI. Diagnostics
and troubleshooting
potential faults

ENGINE WILL NOT START

y Is the power switch in the "ON" position?
y Is the fuel valve for the supply of the given fuel open?
y Is there sufficient fuel in the tank?
y Is there a sufficient amount of oil in the engine?
y Is the ignition cable connector connected to the
engine's spark plug?
y Is the spark plug generating a spark?
y Do you have old stale petrol in the fuel tank? (Add a pet-
rol conditioner to the petrol and stir it in by moving the
generation or by pouring another portion of the fuel
over it and allow it to act, see fig. 5. chapter IV.)
If the engine still will not start, purge carburettor (see above).
If you are unable to remedy the fault, have the repairs
performed at an authorised service centre for the HERON®
brand.

SPARK PLUG FUNCTION TEST

•
ATTENTION
y First ensure that there is no spilled petrol or other
flammable substances in the vicinity. When testing
functionality, use suitable protective gloves. When wor-
king without gloves there is a risk of injury by electrical
shock! Before removing the spark plug, make sure that
the spark plug is not hot!
y Screw the spark plug out of the engine.
y Seat the spark plug into the ignition connector ("cap").
y Move the power switch to the "0N" Position.
y Hold the thread of the spark plug against the body
of the engine (e.g. on the cylinder head) and pull on
the handle of the pull starter.
y If there is no sparking, replace the spark plug with
a new one. In the event that no sparking occurs even
with the new spark plug, it is necessary arrange
a repair at an authorised service centre. If the spar-
king is in order, reinstall the spark plug and conti-
nue starting the engine according to the manual.
If you are unable to start the engine even after this, have
the repairs performed at an authorised service centre for
the HERON® brand.
