STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

The generator should be started at least once every

seven days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes.  If

this cannot be done and you must store the unit for more

than 30 days, use the following guidelines to prepare it

for storage.

GENERATOR

• Clean the generator as outlined in  “To Clean the Gen-

erator.”

• Check that cooling air slots and openings on genera-

tor are open and unobstructed.

DANGER:  If you use a storage cover, do not

place over a hot generator. Let the unit cool

for a sufficient time before placing a cover on

the unit. Placing a cover on the unit before

generator is sufficiently cool could could start

the cover on fire.

ENGINE

See Engine Owner’s Manual for instructions on how to

properly store the engine.

OTHER STORAGE TIPS

• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust.  Rust

and/or dirt in a gasoline can cause problems when you

use that fuel with this unit.

• Store in clean and dry area.
