3.Let the engine run at idle with no load for 2-3 minutes.

4.To shut-down the engine, place the generator ON/OFF switch (Figure 27) in the OFF position

6. Remove the load from the generator.

Generator Storage

For storage of the generating set for over 30 days, the following is required:

■Drain the fuel tank completely, or add STA-BIL to the fuel.

■Run the engine until the gasoline in the carburetor is completely consumed.

■Completely drain the oil from the crankcase and refill with fresh oil.

■Remove the spark plug, pour 2 or 3 cc of SAE 30 oil into the cylinder and crank slowly to distribute the oil.

■Slowly rotate the engine a few times with the starter rope and install a new spark plug.

■Pull out the starter rope slowly and stop at the compression point.

■Clean all external parts of the generating set with a cloth.

■Cover the generating set and store in a clean, dry place.
