fuel has been drained.
Remove the spark plug and pour approximately one
tablespoon full of clean engine oil into the spark plug hole.

cord several times. Re-fit the spark plug and continue to pull
the recoil starter cord until the piston is on the compression
stroke (when resistance is felt) then stop pulling.

cover to prevent any dust or debris from accumulating on
the generator.
