SERVICE AND STORAGE

INFREQUENT SERVICE

If the unit is used infrequently, difficult starting may result. to eliminate hard starting, run the generator at least 30 minutes every month. Also, if the unit will not be used for some time, it is a good idea to drain the fuel from the carburetor and gas tank.

LONG TERM STORAGE

When the generator set is not being operated or is being stored more than one month, follow these instructions:

1.Replenish engine oil to upper level.

2.Drain gasoline from fuel tank, fuel line and carburetor.

3.Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through the spark plug hole, pull the recoil starter several times and replace the plug. Then pull the starter until you feel the piston is on its compression stroke and leave it in that position.

This closes both the intake and exhaust valves to prevent the inside of the cylinder from rusting.

4.Cover the unit and store in a clean, dry place that is well ventilated away from open flame or sparks.

NOTE: We recommend always using a fuel stabilizer. A fuel stabilizer will minimize the formulation of fuel gum deposits during storage. The fuel stabilizer can be added to the gasoline in the fuel tank, or into the gasoline in a storage container.
