STORAGE
In order to keep your generator trouble-free and in good
condition, proper storage preparation is essential. The
following steps will help to make it easier to start the engine
when you use the generator again.
Fuel
NOTICE: Fuel will deteriorate and oxidise over time. It is
important to remove fuel for longer term storage. Engine
failure due to stale fuel is not covered by warranty.
DRAINING THE FUEL
1. Remove fuel tank cap and fuel filter screen and extract
fuel into an appropriate container. Note: Fuel is extremely
volatile and dangerous. Handle with caution.
2. Turn the Engine Switch to the
“ON”
position.
3. Start the engine and let it run until the fuel runs out. The
engine will automatically stop.
4. Allow engine and generator to cool completely before
proceeding with next steps.
5. Unlock and open the left maintenance door.
6. Loosen the drain bolt on the carburettor and drain the fuel
into an appropriate container.
7. Turn the Engine Switch to the
“OFF”
position.
8. Tighten the drain bolt on the carburettor.
9. Close and lock maintenance door.
