6200W Portable Generator

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 guidelines to prepare it for storage.

Generator Storage

•Clean the generator as outlined in “Generator Cleaning”.

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

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.

Engine Storage

See engine operator’s manual for instructions.

Other Storage Tips

Fuel will become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acids and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. Prior to storage, if gasoline has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained from the engine into an approved container. Then run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.

When fuel stabilizers are used according to their instructions, there is no need to drain the gasoline from the engine prior to storage. Use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START™ fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a drip concentrated liquid cartridge. Run the engine for a short time to circulate stabilizer throughout the fuel system. Engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.

If gasoline is drained, the use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is still recommended to maintain freshness.

•DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it has been treated as described above.

•Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this unit.

•Store unit in a clean and dry area.
