A WARNING!
Contact with a hot engine or exhaust system can cause serious burns or fires. Let the engine cool
before transporting or storing the generator.
A. CAUTION!
Take care not to drop or strike the generator when transporting. Do not place heavy objects on the
generator.
Engine Long TermStorage:
Remove the spark plug and pour about 1 teaspoon of 10W30 Engine oil into the spark plug hole. Reinstall the spark plug.
With the 3 in 1 switch in the "OFF" position pull the recoil starter cord several time to coat the 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 as this will prevent any corrosion on the cylinder walls if stored for a long period of time.
