DANGER
Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. Only
fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT
pump gasoline directly into the generator. Use an approved
container to transfer the fuel to the generator. Never use a
gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel item that
is damaged or appears damaged. DO NOT overfill the gasoline
tank. Always keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
Short Term Storage (up to 30 days)
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. Move the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
Mid Term Storage (30 days – 1 year)
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. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
2. Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the gasoline tank.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position.
4. Start and run the generator for 10 minutes so the treated
gasoline cycles through the fuel system.
5.
Option 1: Drain Gasoline from Carburetor
5a. Turn engine switch to the “OFF” position and allow
generator to cool completely before continuing.
5b. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF”.
5c. Use 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.
