5.6 Storage
Before storing the generator for a long period of time:
1. Close the fuel valve and remove and empty the sediment cup or fuel strainer.
2. Disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor. Place the open end of the fuel line
into a suitable container and open the fuel valve to drain the fuel from the tank.
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Drain the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area. Do
not drain the fuel tank in an area with flames or sparks.
3. Loosen the drain screw on the carburetor and drain any remaining fuel from the
carburetor.
4. Change the engine oil.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour approximately 30 ml (1 ounce) of clean engine
oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine a few turns to distribute the oil to the
inside of the cylinder walls.
6. Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt and leave the handle in this
position. This ensures that the intake and exhaust valves are closed.
7. Store the generator in a clean, dry area.
