DRAINING THE FUEL TANK
Drain the fuel tank every year and before storing the generator for
longer than one to two months. Refer to Recommended Mainte-
nance Schedule in Figure 14. To drain the fuel tank:
1. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position (Fig. 22).
2. Prepare a suitable container under the carburetor for catching the
drained fuel.
3. Open up the carburetor drain screw (Fig. 23) with a screwdriver.
Gasoline will start to drain from the carburetor.
4. Open the fuel valve by turning it to the ON position to let the fuel
drain completely from the fuel tank.
5. Once the fuel has drained, shut off the fuel valve and close the
carburetor drain screw with the screwdriver.
6. Store the emptied gasoline in a suitable place. DO NOT store
flammable materials near the gasoline.
CAUTION: Do not store the emptied fuel for more than 3 months.
