WARNING
To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of your generator
during periods of storage, the following precautions should be
followed:
–
When storing the generator make sure the EZ Start dial is
set to the “ENGINE STOP” position.
Short Term Storage (up to 30 days-1 year)
Ethanol blended gasoline in the tank has a maximum shelf life
of up to 1 year with the addition of a properly formulated fuel
stabilizer and stored in a cool, dry place.
1. The generator is to be OFF and all appliances disconnected.
2. Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the gasoline tank.
3. Start the engine. See “Starting the Engine: Gasoline.
4. Run the generator for 10 minutes so the treated gasoline
cycles through the fuel system.
5. Turn the EZ Start dial to the “ENGINE STOP” position and
allow generator to cool completely before continuing.
6. Remove the drain bolt on the carburetor to empty any excess
gasoline from the carburetor into an appropriate container.
Use a funnel (and appropriate hose if necessary) under the
carburetor drain bolt to avoid spillage.
7. When gasoline stops flowing from the carburetor, replace
and tighten the carburetor drain bolt and be sure to properly
dispose of the drained gasoline according to local regulations
or guidelines.
8. Remove the spark plug cap and spark plug and pour about a
tablespoon of oil into the cylinder.
9. Pull the recoil cord slowly to crank the engine to distribute the
oil and lubricate the cylinder.
10. Install the spark plug and spark plug cap.
11. Clean the generator according to Cleaning the Generator.
12. Store the generator in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
Long Term Storage (over 1 year)
For storage over 1 year, the gasoline tank and carburetor must be
completely drained of gasoline.
1. The generator is to be OFF and all appliances disconnected.
2. Turn the EZ Start dial to the “GASOLINE RUN” position.
3. Remove the drain bolt on the carburetor to empty any excess
gasoline from the gasoline tank and carburetor into an
appropriate container. Use a funnel (and appropriate hose if
necessary) under the carburetor drain bolt to avoid spillage.
