MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Storage
The generator should be started at least once every
14 days and allowed to run for at least 20 minutes.
For longer term storage, please follow these guidelines.
Generator Storage
1. Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the tank.
2. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the
generator.
3. Run the generator for a few minutes so the treated
fuel cycles through the fuel system and carburetor.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the “Off” position.
5. Let the generator run until fuel starvation has
stopped the engine. This usually takes a few
minutes.
6. The generator needs to cool completely before
cleaning and storage.
7. Remove the spark plug cap, then pull the recoil grip 3
times to drain the petrol from the carburetor jets.
8. Change the engine oil.
9. Remove the spark plug and pour about a tablespoon
of oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine slowly to
distribute the oil and lubricate the cylinder.
10. Reattach the spark plug.
11. Store the unit in a clean, dry place out of direct
sunlight.
Generator exhaust contains odorless and colorless
carbon monoxide gas.
To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of your
electric start generator during periods of storage,
the following precautions should be followed:
– When storing the generator for short periods of
time make sure that the ignition switch, the fuel
valve and the battery switch are set in the OFF
position.
– When storing the generator for extended periods
of time make sure that the ignition switch, the
fuel valve and the battery switch are set in the
the the OFF position and the battery leads have
been disconnected from the battery.
