PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING- SPARK PLUG
Remove spark plug(s) in order to ensure the generator cannot be started
accidentally in a storage location or by untrained persons.
PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING- BATTERY
To prevent accidental starting, disconnect the battery before storage.
1. Disconnect negative (-) battery terminal first.
2. Disconnect positive (+) battery terminal last.
OPERATE THE ENGINE REGULARLY
The generator should be operated regularly to maintain the condition of
internal parts. At least every four weeks, start the engine and let it run
for 10 to 15 minutes with a small load plugged in such as a lamp or fan.
Monthly operation of the generator will dry out any moisture that has
accumulated in the windings which if left, can cause corrosion. It will also
ensure that the unit is operating properly should it be needed in an
emergency.
Before transporting the Generator please ensure that the fuel cock is in
the
“ OFF ” position.
Caution
Contact with a hot engine or exhaust system can cause severe burns and or
fires, always allow for the engine to cool down prior to transporting and or
storing. Always ensure that the Generator is transported and or stored in a
flat horizontal position. Tilting of the unit may cause fuel spillage which
may result in a fire.
