DANGER
Long Term Storage
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming
in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor,
fuel hoses or tank during storage. Also, experience
indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol,
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads
to separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
When the generator set is not being operated, or
is being stored for more than one month, follow
these instructions to avoid engine problems:
1-ADD a properly formulated commercially FUEL
STABILIZER to the tank if it is not already added.
2-Operate the engine for 5-10 minutes to circulate
treated fuel into fuel lines and carburetor before
3- After engine cools down, remove all gasoline
from the fuel tank. Use a commercially available,
non-conductive vacuum siphon.
shutdown.
Drain fuel into approved container outdoors,
away from open flame. Be sure engine is cool.
Do not smoke.
4-FUEL STARVATION: Start and run the generator
until it stops from lack of fuel. This will dry out all
remaining fuel in tank, fuel lines and carburetor.
7-Remove spark plug and pour about one teaspoon
of engine oil through the spark plug hole, then pull
the recoil starter several times to distribute the oil for
lubricating the cylinder. Reattach the spark plug.
Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt. This will
close the valves so moisture cannot enter engine
cylinder. Gently release recoil starter.
5-Allow the unit to cool entirely before cleaning
and storage.
6-Change oil with recommended grade oil.
