STORAGE
Do not touch a hot engine or exhaust system to avoid burns or fires. Let the engine
cool before storing the generator.
If storing the unit for an extended period, be sure the storage area is free of excessive
humidity and dust.
1. Drain the fuel in the fuel tank out, clean strainer, o-ring and sediment cup, then
reinstall. Drain fuel out of the carburettor by loosening the drain screw, then
reinstall and screw down the carburetor screw.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Drain
fuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow flames
or sparks in the area during this procedure.
2. Screw the oil dipstick off and screw the drain bolt off the crankcase to completely
drain the oil out. Then screw down the drain bolt and fill fresh oil to upper mark,
finally reinstall the oil dipstick.
3. Remove the spark plug, and pour about a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the
cylinder. Crank the engine several revolutions to distribute the oil, then reinstall the
spark plug.
4. Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. Leave the intake and exhaust
valves in the closed position.
5. Place the generator in the clean area.
