6 Transporting and storing the generating set

6.1 Transport and handling conditions
The unit should be handled gently and sudden movements should be avoided. Ensure that the place where it is to be stored or
used is carefully prepared beforehand. Before any fixed installation on a trailer or inside a vehicle, consult one of our approved
agents.
Before transporting the unit, take the following necessary precautions:
1. Check that the routes to be used are smooth and drivable. If it proves necessary to use uneven roads, drain the fuel into a
container before setting off.
2. Check that the bolts are correctly tightened, close the fuel tap (if fitted) and disconnect the battery (if fitted).
3. The unit should always be transported in its normal operating position; never lay it on its side. Ensure that the unit cannot
fall from the vehicle carrying it, but without exerting too much force (risk of damaging the unit).

Storage conditions

This procedure for storing the unit or protecting it over the winter must be respected if it is not used for a period of up to 1 year. For
longer periods of storage, it is recommended to contact your nearest agent or to start up the unit for a few hours every year,
ensuring that the storage procedure is respected afterwards.
Drain the fuel and change the engine oil:
1. Start the unit and allow it to operate until it runs out of fuel.
2. Set the switch to OFF (A7).
3. Clean the sediment bowl.
4. Close the fuel taps (A5).
5. Top up the oil.
Grease the cylinder and valves:
6. Remove the spark plug (A15-F2) then, via its aperture, pour in approx. one teaspoon of new engine oil.
7. Refit a new spark plug in its place.
8. Pull the starter-recoil reel handle (A9) several times to distribute the oil inside the cylinder.
