STORAGE

If you are going to store your generator for more than 30 days, use the following information as a guide to prepare the generator for storage.

Never store generator with fuel in the tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fumes can reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.

Engine Preparation

1.Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank to minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.

2.Run engine at least 5 minutes after adding stabi- lizer to allow it to enter the fuel system.

3.Next shut off engine.

4.Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.

5.Add one teaspoon of oil through the spark plug hole.

6.Place rag over spark plug hole and pull the recoil a few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.

7.Replace the spark plug, but do not connect the spark plug wire.

NOTE: If a fuel stabilizer is not used, all gasoline must be drained from the tank and carburetor to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of the engine.

Generator

•Clean the generator as outlined in the Mainte- nance Section on this manual.

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

Battery (BS600&BSV800)

•Store battery as described by the battery manu- facturer.

NOTE: After storing battery for a long period of time it may lose its charge. If the battery loses its charge, manually start the engine with the battery connected. The engine will recharge the battery as it runs.
