MAINTENANCE
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. Locate the carburetor (Fig. 33 - 1). It can
be accessed on the back of the generator,
right beside the air filter.
2. Prepare an approved gasoline-storage
container and a funnel.
3. Remove the fuel cap (Fig. 34 - 1). Turn the
FUEL SELECTOR knob (Fig. 34 - 2) to "GAS
ON".
4. Open up the carburetor drain screw (Fig.
33 - 2) with a Phillips screwdriver. Fuel will
start draining from the carburetor and fuel
tank through the funnel.
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 from the
tube, reinstall the fuel cap and turn the FUEL
SELECTOR knob to "ENGINE OFF". Tighten
the drain screw with the screwdriver.
6. Start and run the generator until the fuel
runs out.
7. Store the emptied gasoline in a suitable
place. DO NOT store flammable materials
near the gasoline.
CAUTION: Store the emptied gasoline in a suitable place. Never store fuel for more than 2 months.
