MAINTENANCE
DRAINING THE FUEL TANK
Clean the fuel tank each year or before storing the generator for extended periods of time. To drain the fuel tank and
carburetor:
1. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the fuel line between the fuel valve and carburetor.
CAUTION! A small amount of fuel may leak from the hose during removal.
3. Attach a fuel line (not included with the generator) to the exposed end of the fuel valve.
4. Position the fuel line into an appropriate container and open the fuel valve.
5. Once the fuel is drained, shut off the fuel valve.
6. Start and run the engine until the fuel runs out.
7. Remove the fuel filter cup (see Fuel Filter Cup Cleaning).
8. Empty the fuel filter cup of any fuel and clean.
9. Reinstall the fuel filter cup.
10. Store the emptied gasoline in a suitable place.
CAUTION! Do not store fuel for more than 3 months.
To maximize the lifespan of this generator, make sure to run it at least once a month. If you do not run it often,
it will greatly shorten the lifespan and performace of the generator.
STORAGE & TRANSPORT
If the generator is being stored for short periods of time (30 to 60 days), add stabilized fuel to the fuel tank until full.
NOTE: Filling the tank reduces the amount of air in the tank and helps reduce deterioration of fuel. Run the engine
for 2 – 3 minutes allowing stabilized fuel mixture to circulate through the carburetor.
When storing the generator for extended periods of time:
• Drain the fuel tank (see Draining the Fuel Tank).
• Change oil.
• Do not obstruct any ventilation openings.
• Keep the generator in a cool dry area.
• Disconnect negative battery lead (see p. 16).
When transporting generator:
• Tighten fuel cap and vacuum relief valve. Drain the fuel tank if possible (see Draining the Fuel Tank).
• Keep the generator upright. Never place the generator side down. Doing so will make it difficult to start.
CAUTION! Never place any type of storage cover on the generator while it is still hot.
