Maintenance Cont.
Draining the Fuel Tank
• Turn the engine OFF.
• Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
• Push the fuel valve knob through the valve holder
bracket allowing you to access the petcock.
• Remove the fuel line that leads to the carburetor
from the petcock by squeezing the ends of the
hose clamps and sliding the fuel line off.
• If needed, install a fuel hose that will extend to a
suitable fuel container large enough to catch the
fuel being drained from the tank.
• Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
• When the fuel has drained from the tank, close
the fuel valve and reinstall fuel line securely
on petcock.
• Reinstall the fuel valve knob in the valve bracket.
Push forward until knob snaps securely
into position.
Draining the Carburetor
• Turn the engine OFF.
• Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
• Position a suitable container under the carburetor
drain screw to catch fuel; loosen the screw.
• Allow fuel to drain completely into container.
• Re-tighten drain screw.
Storage
• Remove any debris that has collected on the
generator and around the muffler and controls.
Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose debris. If
dirt is caked on, use a soft bristle brush.
• Inspect air cooling slots. Remove any debris
if obstructed.
• Disconnect negative battery cable from battery.
• For short-term storage, start generator once
every 7 days.
• For long-term storage, add fuel stabilizer to pre-
vent stale fuel from causing acid and gum de-
posits in the fuel system and carburetor.
