ERIOD OF INACTIVITY
If the generator is not to be used for a long period of time,
the following operations must be carried out.
• Completely empty out the fuel tank.
• Change the engine oil.
• Clean the air filter.
• Disconnect the battery cables. We recommend you
recharge the battery every month in order to prevent it
from going completely flat which, sometimes,
compromises its integrity.

and impurities.
• Cover the generator with a nylon sheet and store it in
horizontal position in a dry and ventilated place.
