MAINTENANCE
DRAINING THE CARBURETOR
We recommend draining the carburetor after every use and before storing the generator. 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 engine switch is pressed
to OFF and the fuel valve is in the OFF posi-
tion. This will allow only the fuel left inside the
carburetor will be drained out.
3. The carburetor (Fig. 14 - 1) can be ac-
cessed on the left of the generator, right be-
hind the air filter.
4. Prepare an approved gasoline-storage con-
tainer and a funnel.
5. Open up the carburetor drain screw (Fig.
16 - 2) with a Phillips-head screwdriver and
drain out any gasoline that has built up inside
the carburetor through the included funnel
into the approved 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.
