7.6. Checking the spark plug (diagram E)

Open the enclosure panels.

Remove the spark plug cap and use a spark plug spanner to remove the spark plug.

Inspect the spark plug and discard it if the electrodes are worn or if the insulation is split or chipped. If it is to be re-used, clean the spark plug with a

metallic brush.

Measure the electrode gap with a feeler gauge. The electrode gap should be from 0.70 to 0.80 mm. Check that the spark plug washer is in good condition

and screw the spark plug in by hand, in order to avoid damaging the threads.

After fitting the spark plug, tighten it with a spark plug spanner to compress the washer, then close the enclosure panel again.

Note: When fitting a new spark plug, tighten it by 1/2 turn after it is seated, in order to compress the washer. When fitting an old spark plug, tighten it by

a 1/8 –1/4 turn after it is in position, in order to compress the washer.

7.7. Cleaning the generating set

Remove all dust and debris from around the exhaust and clean the generating set using a cloth and a brush (cleaning with a water jet is not recommended,

and cleaning with high-pressure cleaning equipment is forbidden).

Carefully clean the motor air inlets and outlets and the alternator.

Check the general condition of the generating set and, if necessary, replace any faulty parts.

8. Storing the generating set

Generating sets which are to remain unused for a long period of time must undergo certain procedures, in order to keep them in good condition. Check that the

storage area is not dusty or humid. Clean the exterior of the generating set and apply rustproofing product.

Open the enclosure panels.

Open the fuel tap and drain the fuel into a suitable container.

Change the motor oil.

Remove the spark plug and pour about 15 ml of oil into the cylinder, then refit the spark plug.

Rotate the motor clockwise using a sleeved screwdriver inserted in the drive housing to disperse the oil inside the cylinder, then refit the spark plug.

Rotate the motor again until resistance is felt.

Clean the generating set, close the enclosure panels again and store the generating set in a clean and dry location.
