all the fuel or by adding a fuel additive to prevent fuel gum deposits from forming.
Note: Store the generator in a safe, dry, childproof area, free of excessive humidity and dust.

in the vicinity while handling petrol. Avoid spilling petrol onto a hot engine. Comply with all laws regulating storage and
