Battery Storage

Do not store the generator outdoors in the cold weather when not in use.

Storage Precautions

Do not store the generator outdoors in the cold weather when not in use.

Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any flame-operated appliance (i.e., furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer). Also avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated.

Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.

Place the generator on a level surface. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage.

With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the generator to prevent dust contamination. Do not use a sheet plastic as a dust cover. Nonporous covers trap moisture around the generator, promoting rust and corrosion.

Position fuel tank cap vent lever to OFF to reduce leakage possibilities.

Generator Exercise

Note: Exercise the generator by running it at a 50% load for two hours every month. This insures fresh fuel is run through the fuel system and prevents varnishing. In addition, seals and engine components are lubricated and the chance of carbon buildup in the upper cylinder head is lessened. Any moisture that has accumulated in the generator windings is baked out as well as keeping the battery charged.

1.Perform “Pre-Operation Checklist”. See page 26.

2.If fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill tank with fresh petrol (see page 27). If petrol is stored in a container, ensure the petrol is fresh. Petrol oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.

Removing from Storage

Note: If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
