MAINTENANCE
DRAINING THE CARBURETOR
We recommend draining the carburetor after every use and before storing the generator. (If the generator is shut off
using the GAS OFF feature, it is only necessary to drain it before periods of long storage.) Draining the carburetor
can prevent the fuel from clogging up the carburetor; a clogged carburetor can prevent the generator from starting.
1. With the help of another person, place the
generator on an elevated platform such as a
table or desk.
2. Make sure that the FUEL SELECTOR knob
is turned to "ENGINE OFF". At this position,
the fuel valve is turned OFF so that only the
fuel left inside the carburetor will be drained
out.
3. The carburetor (Fig. 26 - 1) can be accessed
on the back of the generator, right beside the
air filter.
4. Prepare an approved gasoline-storage con-
tainer and a funnel.
5. Open up the carburetor drain screw (Fig.
26 - 2) with a Phillips-head screwdriver and
drain out any gasoline that has built up inside
the carburetor through the funnel into the ap-
proved gasoline-storage container.
6. Once the fuel has drained, tighten the drain
screw with the screwdriver.
NOTE: Make sure to drain your carburetor be-
fore storing the generator for long periods of
time.
