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).
6.2

Storage conditions

Drain the fuel:
1. Unscrew the fuel tank cap (A6).
2. With a suitable container in place, use a manual siphon pump to collect the fuel from the tank.
3. Screw the fuel tank cap back on.
4. Start the unit and allow it to operate until it runs out of fuel.
5. Close the fuel tap (A7-C1).
Lubricate the cylinders and the valves:
6. Remove the spark plugs (A17-E2) then, via their aperture, pour in approximately one teaspoon of new engine oil..
7. Fit new spark plugs.
8. Turn the key to "ON" and press "START" to distribute the oil inside the cylinders.
Store the generating set:
9. Replace the fuel filter.
10. With the engine still warm, change the engine oil.
11. Clean or replace the air filter.
12. Disconnect the battery.
13. Clean the outside of the unit; apply an anti-rust product to damaged parts.
14. Cover the unit with a protective cover and store it in its normal position, in a clean, dry and well ventilated area.
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.
