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 START/STOP
button is “OFF” and not illuminated and fuel valve is set to
the “OFF” position.
Short Term Storage (up to 30 days)
Ethanol blended gasoline may gum up and clog the carburetor if
the generator is not run or carburetor drained within 4 weeks.
1. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
2. Start the generator as instructed in
Starting the Engine
section.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
4. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the
engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
5. If started using remote, press START/STOP button one more
time to ensure the generator is “GASOLINE OFF” and not in
“STANDBY” mode and blinking green.
Mid Term Storage (30 days – 1 year)

of up to 1 year with the addition of a properly formulated fuel
stabilizer and stored in a cool, dry place.
1. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
2. Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the gasoline tank.
3. Start and run the generator for 10 minutes so the treated
gasoline cycles through the fuel system.

and tighten the carburetor drain bolt and be sure to
properly dispose of the drained gasoline according to
local regulations or guidelines.
