1. Place generator on elevated platform such as table or
desk.
2. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver (not included), re
-
move the service panel by unscrewing the three Phillips-
head screws (Fig. 15) along the upper edge.
3. The carburetor (Fig. 16 - 1) can be accessed from the
backside of the generator between the engine and the air
filter. Locate the transparent tube (Fig. 16 - 2) from the
carburetor that extends down through the bottom of the
generator.
4. Prepare an approved gasoline-storage container and di
-
rect the end of the drain tube into the container.
5. Open up the carburetor drain screw (Fig. 17) with a flat-
head screwdriver (not included) and drain out any gaso
-
line that has built up inside the carburetor through the
drain tube into the approved gasoline-storage container.
6. Once the fuel has drained, tighten the drain screw with
the screwdriver.
NOTE: Make sure to drain your carburetor before storing
the generator for long periods of time.
7. Reinstall the service panel.
DRAINING THE CARBURETOR
We recommended draining the carburetor after every use (not necessary if the generator is shut
off using the “FUEL OFF” option), and before storing the generator. Draining the carburetor can
prevent the fuel from clogging up the carburetor and preventing the generator from starting.
