12. Storage

Store the device and its accessories in a
dark, dry and frost-proof place that is inac-
cessible to children. The optimum storage
temperature is between 5 and 30˚C.
Cover the electrical tool in order to protect
it from dust and moisture.
Store the operating manual with the elec-
trical tool.
When storing for a long period of time
1 Empty the fuel tank and run the carbu-
rettor 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 distributes 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 pe-
riod 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.
