SERVICE AND STORAGE
INFREQUENT SERVICE
If the unit is used infrequently, difficult starting may result. to
eliminate hard starting, run the generator at least 30 minutes every
month. Also, if the unit will not be used for some time, it is a good
idea to drain the fuel from the carburetor and gas tank.
LONG TERM STORAGE
When the generator set is not being operated or is being stored more
than one month, follow these instructions:
1.
Replenish engine oil to upper level.
2.
Drain gasoline from fuel tank, fuel line and carburetor.
3.
Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through the spark
plug hole, pull the recoil starter several times and replace
the plug. Then pull the starter until you feel the piston is on
its compression stroke and leave it in that position. This
closes both the intake and exhaust valves to prevent the
inside of the cylinder from rusting.
4.
Cover the unit and store in a clean, dry place that is well
ventilated away from open flame or sparks.
NOTE: We recommend always using a fuel stabilizer. A fuel
stabilizer will minimize the formulation of fuel gum deposits during
storage. The fuel stabilizer can be added to the gasoline in the fuel
tank, or into the gasoline in a storage container.
