Storage
If storing the unit for more than 30 days, use the following
guidelines to prepare it for storage .
Long Term Storage Instructions
1 . Clean the generator as outlined in
Cleaning
.
2 . Change engine oil while engine is still warm, drain oil
from crankcase . Refill with recommended grade . See
Changing Engine Oil
.
3 . Treat or drain fuel from generator as fuel can become
stale when stored over 30 days .
Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the
fuel system or on essential carburetor parts . To keep fuel
fresh, use a fuel stabilizer
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a
fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions . Run the
engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout
the fuel system before storage .
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container .
Then run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel .
The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is
recommended to maintain freshness .
WARNING!
Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive which could cause
burns, fire or explosion resulting in death or
serious injury .
• When storing fuel or equipment with fuel in tank, store
away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers
or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition
source because they could ignite fuel vapors .
• When draining fuel, turn generator engine off and let it
cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap . Loosen
cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank . Drain fuel tank
outdoors . Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat, and other ignition sources .
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for
cracks or leaks . Replace if necessary .
4 . Store generator in clean, dry area and cover with a
suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture .
WARNING!
Storage covers could cause a fire
resulting in death or serious injury .
• Do not place a storage cover over a hot or running
generator . Let equipment cool for a sufficient time
before placing the cover on the equipment .
