Storage
Before storing the generator for a long period of time:
4.7.1
Close the fuel valve and remove and empty the sediment cup or fuel
strainer.
4.7.2
Disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor. Place open end of fuel line
into a suitable container and open fuel valve to drain fuel from tank.
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Drain the fuel tank in a well-
ventilated area. DO NOT drain the fuel tank in an area with flames or
sparks.
4.7.3
Loosen the drain screw on the carburetor and drain any remaining fuel
from the carburetor.
4.7.4
Change the engine oil.
4.7.5
Remove the spark plug and pour approximately 30 ml (1 ounce) of
clean engine oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine a few turns to
distribute the oil to the inside of the cylinder walls.
4.7.6
Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt and leave the handle
in this position. This ensures that the intake and exhaust valves are
closed.
4.7.7
Store the generator in a clean, dry area.
