The following procedures should be followed prior to storage of your generator for periods of 6 months or longer.
Drain fuel from fuel tank carefully by disconnecting the fuel line.
Fuel left in the fuel tank will eventually deteriorate making engine-starting difficult.
Change engine oil.
Check for loose bolts and screws, tighten them if necessary.
Clean generator thoroughly with oiled cloth. Spray with preservative if available. NEVER USE WATER
TO CLEAN GENERATOR !
Pull starter handle until resistance is felt, leaving handle in that position.
Store generator in a well ventilated, low humidity area.
When generator engine fails to start after several attempts, or if no electricity is available at the output
socket, check the following chart. If your generator still fails to start or generate electricity, contact your
nearest Robin dealer or service shop for further information or corrective procedures.

PREPARATION FOR STORAGE
Engine does not start, or not
immediately, but can be turned
over easily as usual.
At low temperatures.
Speed control lever in stop
or idle position.
Move lever to START position.
No fuel in the injection pump. Add fuel.
Systematically check the entire
fuel supply system:
If still no fault found,
- check engine feed line
- check fuel filter
Insufficient compression:
- Incorrect valve clearance. Check valve clearances,
adjust if necessary.
- Cylinders and/or piston rings worn. See workshop manual.
Injector not functioning. See workshop manual.
Fuel has inadequate resistance
to low temperatures.
Check whether clear (not turbid) fuel
emerges at the fuel line detached
from the injection pump.
If turbid or separated - either warm
up the engine or drain the complete
fuel supply system.
Refill with winter-grade fuel to which
paraffin has been added.
