Engine
Perform the following steps to protect the cylinder, piston ring, etc. from
corrosion.
1. Remove the spark plug, pour about one table-spoon of SAE 10W-30
or 20W-40 motor oil into the spark plug hole and reinstall the speak
plug. Recoil start the engine by turning over several times (with
ignition off) to coat the cylinder walls with oil.
2. Pull the recoil starter until you feel compression. Then stop
pulling (this prevents the cylinder and valves from rusting).
3. Clean exterior of the generator and apply a rust inhibitor.
4. Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated place, with the cover
placed over it.
5. The generator must remain in a vertical position when stored,
carried, or operated
