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. 21 - 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. 22 - 1) and turn the fuel valve
(Fig. 23 - 1) ON.
4. Open up the carburetor drain screw (Fig. 21 - 2) with a
Phillips screwdriver. Fuel will start draining from the carbu-
retor and fuel tank through the funnel.
NOTE: The draining process may take a few hours, depend-
ing on the amount of fuel in your gas tank.
5. Once fuel is completely drained from the tank, reinstall the
fuel cap and turn the fuel valve 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.
