NOTICE
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 flow of fuel, preventing an engine
from starting after a prolonged storage period.
Proper care should be taken to prepare the inverter for
any storage
1.
Clean the inverter as outlined in
Cleaning the
Inverter.
2.
Siphon all gasoline from the fuel tank as best as
possible.
3.
Start the engine and allow the inverter to run until
all the remaining gasoline in the fuel lines and
carburetor is consumed and the engine shuts off.
4.
Drain any remaining fuel from the float bowl. See
Draining the Float Bowl
.
5.
Change the oil (see
Changing Engine Oil
).
6.
Remove the spark plug (see
Spark Plug
Maintenance
) 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 (see
Spark Plug
Maintenance
).
8. Move the inverter to a clean, dry place for storage.
