Storage
To protect your generator from deterioration during long term storage, take the following preventative measures:
EXTERIOR
•
pick up loose debris. If dirt is caked on, use a soft bristle brush.
• Inspect air cooling slots. Remove any debris if obstructed.
• Store indoors and use a protective cover to protect from dust.
FUEL
• For short-term storage, add fuel stabilizer to prevent stale fuel from causing acid and gum deposits in the fuel system
and carburetor.
• For long-term storage, drain the fuel.
ENGINE
• Remove spark plug. Pour about 1 TBL of SAE 10W-30 engine oil into the spark plug hole, then reinstall spark plug.
• With the 3 in 1 switch in the “OFF” position, pull the recoil starter several times to coat cylinder walls with oil.
• Slowly pull the recoil starter until you feel the engine build compression (when you feel resistance). Leave the engine in
this state. This will help prevent rust build up in the cylinder walls.
