GENERAL STORAGE GUIDELINES
WARNING:
GASOLINE FUEL FUMES ARE
FLAMMABLE. DO NOT STORE YOUR GENSET IN
ANY AREA THAT IS INDOOR OR IN POORLY
VENTILATED AREAS. GASOLINE FUEL FUMES CAN
IGNITE IN THE PRESENCE OF ANY OPEN FLAME, PILOT
LIGHT, CLOTHES DRYER, WATER HEATER, ETC.
Your generator should be started and operated for
several minutes at least every 30 days. 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.
Run the generator, then close the fuel shut-off valve and
allow the unit to run until the engine stops.
3.
Move the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
4.
After the unit has cooled, drain gasoline from fuel tank,
fuel line and carburetor.
5.
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.
6.
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.
