Storing the Generator
Take the following steps to protect parts such as the engine body and piston rings which are the most susceptible
to corrosion.
1. Take out the spark plug, inject 10 mL / 0.34 oz. of engine oil, reinstall the spark plug, and pull the Starter Grip for
several minutes so that the engine oil can fully lubricate the cylinder block.
2. Pull the Starter Grip until it becomes tight (to prevent the cylinder block and valves rusting).
3. Wipe the generator's surface clean, place the generator in a well-ventilated and dry place and cover it.
Rechargeable Battery
Charge the internal battery once every 3 months for a longer storage.
Method 1: Start the generator. The internal battery will be charged while the engine is running.
Method 2: Connect the generator to an EcoFlow power station The device will charge the internal battery.
Storage and Transportation
If you plan to place this generator into long-term storage, take some storage measures to prevent premature aging
of the generator.
Draining the Fuel
• As fuel is highly volatile and toxic, please carefully read the "Safety Guidelines" for handling
instructions.
• Wipe any spilled fuel away with a clean soft cloth to prevent it from damaging the plastic shell.
1. Turn the Engine Switch to “OFF”.
Note: When there is no leftover fuel in the generator, skip this step and make sure that the LPG inlet is protected
with the dust cover.
2. Open the fuel tank cap, take out the fuel lter screen, drain all the fuel from the fuel tank into a temporary fuel
tank and reinstall the fuel cap.
3. Start the generator. The remaining fuel will be used up in about 20 minutes. The generator will turn off when
there is no fuel left.
a. Do not connect any electrical equipment to the generator.
b. The time it takes for the generator to run depends on the remaining amount of fuel inside the fuel tank.
4. Use the provided screwdriver to remove the maintenance cover.
5. Loosen and remove the oil drain bolt on the carburetor and drain the fuel from the carburetor into the temporary
fuel tank.
6. Turn the Engine Switch to “OFF”.
7. Screw in and tighten the oil drain bolt.
8. Reinstall the maintenance cover.
9. Reinstall the fuel tank cap after the engine cools down completely.
