DRAINING THE FUEL TANK

Drain and clean the fuel tank each year, or before storing the generator for longer than two

months.

To drain the fuel tank and carburetor:

1. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver (not included), remove the service panel by unscrewing the

three Phillips-head screws (Fig. 15) along the upper edge.

2. Locate the carburetor (Fig. 16 - 1) and the transparent drain tube (Fig. 16 - 2) from the carburetor

that extends down through the bottom of the generator.

3. Prepare an approved gasoline-storage container and direct the end of the transparent tube into the

container.

4. Remove the fuel cap and turn the 3-in-1 switch to the “RUN” position. Fuel will start draining from

the carburetor and fuel tank through the drain tube.

NOTE: The draining process may take a few hours, depending on the amount of fuel in your gas tank.

5. Once fuel is completely drained, reinstall the fuel cap and turn the 3-in-1 switch to “OFF” position.

Tighten the drain screw with the screwdriver and reinstall the service panel.

6. Store emptied gasoline in a suitable place. DO NOT store flammable materials near the gasoline.

CAUTION: Store emptied gasoline in a suitable place. Never store fuel for more than 2 months.

SPARK ARRESTOR MAINTENANCE

Inspect and clean the spark arrestor every 100 hours of operation.

The spark arrester is located outside the muffler, which gets very hot during operation. Allow the

engine to cool completely before servicing the spark arrester. To inspect and clean the spark arrester:

1. Remove the screw that secures the spark arrestor to the

muffler.

2. Remove the spark arrestor screen (Fig. 22).

3. Carefully clean and remove the carbon deposits from

the spark arrestor screen with a wire brush. Replace the

spark arrestor if it is damaged (replacement spark arres

tors can be purchased from wenproducts.com by search-

ing the part no. 56225i-1509).

4. Reinstall the spark arrestor in the muffler and secure it

in place with the screw.
