Storage Preparation

Petrol is highly flammable and explosive and can cause serious injury. Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately.

Note: Long-term storage of the generator will require some additional preventative measures to guard against deterioration. If fuel is kept in the generator, ensure that the engine is run for at least 30 minutes per month in order to ensure an easy start in emergencies.

1.If the generator will be stored with fuel, perform “Adding Fuel Stabilizer”.

2.If the generator will be stored dry of fuel, perform the “Draining Fuel” and “Fogging the Engine procedures.

3.Perform “Oil Change”. See page 50.

4.Clean the exterior of the generator with a clean cloth and apply a rust inhibitor.

Do not pour water directly on to the generator or wash it with water.
