STORAGE

STORAGE

The generator should be started at least once every seven days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be done and you must store the unit for more than 30 days, use the following information as a guide to prepare it for storage.

Change Oil

While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with recommended grade.

Oil Cylinder Bore

•Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.

Long Term Storage Instructions

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK

•Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite fuel vapors.

WHEN DRAINING FUEL

•Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.

•Drain fuel tank outdoors.

•Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

•DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

Protect Fuel System

Fuel Preserver:

If adding a fuel preserver, fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. Engine and fuel can be stored up to 24 months with preserver.

•Add fuel preserver following manufacturer’s instructions.

•Run the engine outdoors for several minutes to be sure that treated fuel has replaced the untreated fuel in the carburetor.

If fuel preserver is not used, remove all fuel from tank and run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.

•Install spark plug and pull recoil starter handle slowly to distribute oil.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

• NEVER crank engine with spark plug removed.

Generator

1.Clean generator as outlined in “Generator Cleaning”.

2.Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator are open and unobstructed.

Other Storage Tips

1.DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it has been treated as described in “Protect Fuel System”.

2.Replace fuel can if it starts to rust. Contaminated fuel will cause engine problems.

3.If possible, store unit indoors and cover it to give protection from dust and dirt.

WARNING

Storage covers can be flammable.

•DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot generator.

•Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the cover on the equipment.

4.Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture.

5.Store generator in clean, dry area.
