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 fuel select
dial is set to the “OFF” position.
Short Term Storage (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 fuel select 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.
