within 4 weeks.
STORAGE
MID-TERM STORAGE (30 DAYS – 1 YEAR)
Gasoline in the tank has a maximum shelf life of up to 1 year with the addition of a properly

DANGER!
• Gasoline vapours are highly flammable and extremely explosive.
• Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a
well-ventilated area. DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the generator. Use an approved
container to transfer the fuel to the generator. Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank,
or any other fuel item that is damaged or appears damaged. DO NOT overfill the gasoline
tank. Always keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of
ignition. DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
FPO
Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
Start the generator as instructed in Starting the Engine section.
Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the engine. This usually takes a few
minutes.
Move the engine/ignition switch to the “OFF” position.
Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the gasoline tank.
Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position.
Start and run the generator for 10 minutes so the treated gasoline cycles through the fuel
system.
