rioration.

float bowl:
a Carburetor drain plug

ENGINE
1. Remove the spark plug, pour about one table-
spoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40 motor oil into
spark plug hole and reinstall the spark plug.
Recoil start the engine by turning over several
times (with ignition off) to coat the cylinder
walls with oil.
2. Pull the recoil starter until you feel compres-
sion. Then stop pulling. (This prevents the
cylinder and valves from rusting).
3. Clean exterior of the generator and apply a
rust inhibitor.
4. Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated
place, with the cover placed over it.
5. The generator must remain in a vertical posi-
tion when stored, carried or operated.
