9. TRANSPORTING/STORAGE
To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary storage, the generator should be
secured upright in its normal operating position with the engine switch OFF. Turn the fuel cap vent
lever fully counterclockwise to the "O" position.
Do not lay the generator on its side when moving, storing or operating it. Oil may leak and damage
the generator or you property.
■
Drain fuel completely before transporting in a vehicle.
■
Do not operate the generator while it is in a vehicle. Take
the generator out of the vehicle and use it in a well ventilated place.
■
Do not transport or store the generator in a vehicle with fuel in the
tank.
■
Avoid a location exposed to direct sunlight when putting the
generator on a vehicle. If the generator is left in an enclosed vehicle
for many hours, high temperature inside the vehicle could cause fuel
to vaporize resulting in a possible explosion.
■
Do not drive on a rough road for an extended period with the
generator on board.
■
Tie down the generator securely in an upright position while
transporting.
Exercising the Generator
It is essential that the generator be exercised on a regular basis. This will prevent the
accumulation of varnish or sludge in the fuel system and also remove moisture from the generator
windings. Exercise the generator by running it with at least a 1/2 load (450W) for 60 minutes per
month. Gasoline fuel treatments to prevent contamination of your fuel supply are available from
your dealer. Fuel varnishing necessitating replacement of the carburetor is not a warrantable
failure.
Before storing the unit for an extended period:
1. Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
2. Drain out the fuel completely.
■
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area.
a. unscrew the fuel tank cap, remove the debris screen, empty the fuel tank into an approved
gasoline container using a commercially available hand siphon. Reinstall the debris screen and the
fuel tank cap.
b. Turn the engine switch ON, loose the cover screw and remove the left maintenance cover.
Loosen the carburetor drain screw and drain the gasoline from the carburetor into a suitable
container.
