6.Ensuring the small seal is fitted to the tap thread, screw the tap back into the tank by a FULL
tap so the outlet of the tap is towards the rear of the tank, and the tap control is to the right hand side of the tank.
Holding the tap firm, tighten
the lock nut, ensuring the seal is clamped between the lock nut and the tank.
7.Refit the fuel hose to the outlet of the tap and with the wire arms compressed, slide the hose clamp up onto the connection of the hose and the tap.
8.Refill the tank with fuel and ensure there are no leaks between the tap and the tank, and with the fuel tap turned on, ensure there are no leaks where the fuel hose is fitted to the outlet of the tap.

Cleaning
1.Keep your machine clean. The outside of the machine can be cleaned using a damp soft cloth with a mild detergent if required. Never use water to clean the generator as it may cause damage to internal parts.
2.Some maintenance products and solvents may damage the plastic parts; these include products containing benzene, trichloroethylene, chloride and ammonia.
3.Use a vacuum to clean air inlet and outlet louvres of the alternator.
4.Take special care to keep the ventilation inlets/outlets free from obstruction; cleaning with a soft brush followed by a compressed air jet will usually be sufficient to ensure acceptable internal cleanliness.
5.Wear eye protection when carrying out cleaning.
