Preparation for Storage
The generator should be started at least once every seven days and
be allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be done and
the unit must be stored for more than 30 days, use the following
information as a guide to prepare it for storage:
1. Drain fuel from fuel tank carefully by disconnecting the fuel line.
Gasoline left in the fuel tank will eventually deteriorate making
2. Remove the drain screw of the carburetor.
3. Change engine oil.
4. Check for loose bolts and screws, tighten them if necessary.
5. Clean generator thoroughly with clean cloth. NEVER USE WATER
TO CLEAN GENERATOR.
6. Pull recoil starter handle until resistance is felt, leaving handle in
that position.
7. Store generator in a well ventilated, low humidity area.
• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
• Replace the gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in the
gasoline will cause problems with the carburetor and fuel system.
• If possible, store the unit indoors and cover it to give protection
from dust and dirt. BE SURE TO EMPTY THE FUEL TANK.
