OPERATION OF GENERATOR
USAGE IN HIGH ALTITUDE REGIONS:
At high altitude, performance will decrease. Engine horsepower will decrease approximately 3.5% for
each 1000 feet (305 meters) increase in altitude. At higher altitudes, the density of the
atmosphere decreases, so there is less oxygen volume to draw into the cylinder. This means there
will be less energy for every power stroke.
STORING THE UNIT
Before long term storage of your power equipment product, typically 30 days or more, perform the
following:
1. Set the Fuel Valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Let the unit continue to run until it stops itself, burning all of the fuel in the fuel system.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “STOP” position.
4. Drain the engine oil in accordance with the “Oil Change Procedures” in this Owner’s Manual’s
Maintenance section. Do NOT re-fill with oil until ready to use again.
5. Remove the Spark Plug in accordance with the “Spark Plug Maintenance” in the Owner’s
Manual’s Maintenance section. Spray a lubricant, such as WD40®, into the Spark Plug hole
to lubricate the top of the piston and walls of the cylinder. Replace the Spark Plug.
6. Pull starter rope until resistance is felt. This will place the valves in the closed position.
7. Add the recommended amount of fuel stabilizer, in accordance with the amount
recommended by the manufacturer of the fuel stabilizer, to the unused gasoline left in the
fuel tank.
8. Place the unit in a clean, dry, and secure location.
9. Cover with “BRAVE Water Proof Generator Cover,” Item Number BR100-69600 (not included) or
canvas/vinyl tarpaulin. Do NOT operate unit with cover installed.
