GENERATOR
STORAGE
When you are finished using the generator, you must:
•
Disconnect all loads.
•
Shut off fuel supply.
•
Disconnect spark plug and battery.
•
Store the generator properly.
•
Plan on operating the engine regularly unless the generator is prepared for long-term
storage.
DISCONNECT LOADS & TURN OFF FUEL SUPPLY
When you are finished using the generator, disconnect all loads and turn off fuel supply:
•
Make sure all devices that were connected to the generator’s outlets have been
disconnected.
•
Check to be sure line shut-off valve is in OFF position.
COOL ENGINE BEFORE STORING
Let engine cool for at least five minutes before storing. A hot engine can be a fire hazard.
CHOOSE A STORAGE LOCATION
Store the generator in a location that is clean, dry, away from sources of heat, open flames,
sparks, or pilot lights and is not subject to extreme high or low temperatures. Residual fuel in
the tank could ignite even if the generator’s fuel tank is empty.
Note: Do not store with battery charger always connected. Batteries that are over-charged can
boil dry and produce excessive amounts of hydrogen, an explosive gas.
PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING - SPARK PLUG
Remove spark plug(s) in order to ensure the generator cannot be started accidentally in a
storage location or by untrained persons.
PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING - BATTERY
To prevent accidental starting, disconnect the battery before storage.
1. Disconnect negative (-) battery terminal first.
2. Disconnect positive (+) battery terminal last.
OPERATE ENGINE REGULARLY
The generator should be operated regularly to maintain the condition of internal parts. At least
every four weeks, start the engine and let it run for 10 to 15 minutes with a small load plugged
in, such as a lamp or fan.
Monthly operation of the generator will dry out any moisture that has accumulated in the
windings which if left can cause corrosion. It will also ensure that the unit is operating properly
should it be needed in an emergency.
