STORAGE
STORAGE PREPARATION
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your generator trouble free and looking good. The following steps will help
to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your generator’s function and appearance and will make the engine easier to start
when you use the generator again.
Cleaning
Wipe the generator with a moist cloth. After the generator has dried, touch up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that
may rust with alight film of oil.
Fuel
Gasoline will oxidize nd deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the
fuel system. If the gasoline in your generator deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel
system components serviced or replaced.
NOTE:
Gasoline spoils very quickly depending on factors such as light exposure, temperature and time. In worst cases, gasoline can
be contaminated within 30days.
Using contaminated gasoline can seriously damage the engine (carburetor clogged, valve stuck). Such damage due to spoiled
fuel is disallowed from coverage by the warranty.
To avoid this please strictly follow these recommendations:

Only use specified gasoline.

Use fresh and clean gasoline.

To slow deterioration, keep gasoline in a certified fuel container.

If long storage (more than 30days) is foreseen, drain fuel tank and carburetor (see page 27).
You can extend fuel storage life by adding a gasoline stabilizer that is formulated for that purpose, or you can avoid fuel
deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and carburetor.
Adding a Gasoline Stabilizer to Extend Fuel Storage Life
When adding a gasoline stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel
deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refuelling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.
1. Add gasoline stabilizer following the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced
the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.
3. Stop the engine and turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
