General
Cleaning of the Generator –
Use a damp rag to clean
all remaining surfaces.
LONG-TERM STORAGE
Never store a generator with fuel in the
tank indoors or in a poorly ventilated
area where the fumes can come in
contact with an ignition source
.
Gasoline stored for as little as 60 days can go bad,
causing gum, varnish and corrosive buildup in fuel
lines, fuel passages and the engine. This corrosive
buildup restricts the f ow of fuel, preventing an engine
from starting after a prolonged storage period.
Proper care should be taken to prepare the generator for
any long-term storage.
Storage Procedure
1. Clean the generator as outlined in
Cleaning the
Generator .
2. Drain all gasoline from the fuel tank as best as
possible.
3. With the fuel shutoff valve open, start the engine
and allow the generator to run until all the remaining
gasoline in the fuel lines and carburetor is
consumed and the engine shuts off.
4. Close the fuel shutoff valve.
5. Change the oil
(see Changing Engine Oil)
6. Remove the spark plug and place about 1 tablespoon
of oil
in the spark plug opening. While placing a clean
rag
over the spark plug opening, slowly pull the recoil
handle to allow the engine to turn over several times.
This will distribute the oil and protect the cylinder wall
from corroding during storage.
7. Replace the spark plug
8. Move the generator to a clean, dry place for storage.
