To prevent fuel spillage when transporting, be sure to perform the following:
1. Tighten the fuel cap.
2. Set the engine switch to OFF.
3. Drain the fuel tank if possible (see “DRAINING THE FUEL TANK” page 23).
4. Keep the generator upright. Never place the generator on its side or upside down - doing so will make
it difficult to start.
TRANSPORTING THE GENERATOR
WARNING:
Avoid direct sunlight inside a vehicle. If the generator is left in an enclosed vehicle for
many hours, the high temperature could cause the fuel to vaporize and result in a possible explosion.
TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE
Shut off the generator and allow the unit to cool to room temperature before storing it. NEVER place any
type of storage cover on the generator while it is still hot. Do not obstruct any ventilation openings.
Follow the procedures below for properly storing your generator. We highly recommend running your gen-
erator once a month for 15 to 30 minutes. Plug in a small load in to ensure there is proper power output.
STORING THE GENERATOR
For Short Periods (30 to 60 Days):
• Drain the carburetor (see page 19).
• Gasoline stored over 30 days can start to go bad and dam-
age fuel system components.
Add fuel stabilizer:
Follow the suggested portions and instructions of your pre-
ferred stabilizer. Run the engine for 15 to 20 minutes, allow-
ing the fuel stabilizer to mix with the gasoline and circulate
through the carburetor, and then top off with fuel. Filling the
fuel tank full reduces the amount of air in the tank and helps
fight deterioration of fuel.
For Extended Periods
(Over 60 Days):
• Drain the carburetor.
• Drain the fuel tank (see “DRAINING
THE FUEL TANK”). Never store with fuel
in the tank for more than two months.
WARNING:
Store the generator upright in a cool and dry location, away from sources of heat, open
flames, sparks or pilot lights.
