8. Change the engine oil.
9. Remove the spark plug and pour about a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the cylinder.
10. Crank the engine several revolutions to distribute the oil and then reinstall the spark plug.
11. Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the piston is coming up on its
compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust valves are closed. Storing the engine in this
position will help to protect it from internal corrosion.
4.4 Exercising the Generator
It is essential that the generator be exercised on a regular basis. This will prevent the accumulation
of varnish or sludge in the fuel system; remove moisture from the generator windings. Additionally the
engine seals and moving components will be lubricated. Exercise the generator by running it with at least
a 1/2 load (1500W) for 15 minutes per month. Gasoline fuel treatments to prevent contamination of your
fuel supply are available, contact Alpha for more information. Fuel varnishing necessitating replacement
of the carburetor is not a warrantable failure.
