Note: Donot place anything on top of thegenerator whilst it is still hot from recent use.
Before transporting or storing thegenerator for extended periods:
• Empty thefueltank.
• Remove thespark plug cap from thesparkplug.
• Keep theventilation openings clear.
• Store thegenerator in acool anddry environment.
Storage
Long-term storage of thegenerator will require some additional preventative measures to guard against
deterioration and ensure that it works well when it is usedagain.
1. Let thegenerator cool down. Drainthefuel tank of any remaining petrol, refer to Emptying thefueltank.
2. Unscrew thespark plug and pour atablespoonful of engine oil (10W-30 in thesummer and 5W-30in
the winter) into thespark plughole.
3. Check theengine oil level and top-up theoil tank if necessary.
4. Pull thestarter handle afew times to distribute theoil in thecylinder, then refit thesparkplug.
DoNOT reconnect thespark plugcap.
5. Pull thestarter handle afew times until you feel aslight resistance, then slowly allow thestarter cord to recoil.
6. Clean theexterior of thegenerator.
7. Store thegenerator indoors, in adry and well-ventilated room. Donot cover thegenerator with aplastic
sheet or dust cover. Non-porous covers will trap moisture around thegenerator and assist corrosion.
Warning:
If you choose to store thegenerator with fuel in thetank, consider thefollowing advice:
• Store thegenerator indoors in awell-ventilated area away from any type of boiler of heater with pilot lights
which could ignite petrol fumes. Alsoavoid any area containing spark-producing electric motors or where
power tools are operated.
• Avoid storing thegenerator in areas with high humidity, because that promotes corrosion.
• Leave theengine switch/fuel cut-off valve in the0 OFF position.
• Place thegenerator on afirm level surface. Tilting can cause thefuel to leakout.
When removing thegenerator from storage:
• Check thegenerator as described in section Preparations. Refuelwith fresh petrol.
