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. 18) along the upper edge.

2. Locate the carburetor (Fig. 19 - 1) and the transparent drain tube (Fig. 19 - 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. 24).

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 arrestors can be purchased from

wenproducts.com by searching the part no. 56225i-1509).

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

with the screw.
