Storage

The generator should be started at least once every seven days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be done and you must store the unit for more than 30 days, use the following guidelines to prepare it for storage.

Generator Storage

•Clean the generator as outlined in Cleaning.

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

Long Term Storage Instructions

Fuel will become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acids and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. Prior to storage, if gasoline has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained from the engine into an approved container. Then run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.

When fuel stabilizers are used according to their instructions, there is no need to drain the gasoline from the engine prior to storage. Use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START™ fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a drip concentrated liquid cartridge. Run the engine for a short time to circulate stabilizer throughout the fuel system. Engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.

If gasoline is drained, the use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is still recommended to maintain freshness.

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK

•Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because they can ignite fuel vapors.

WHEN DRAINING FUEL

•Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank.

•Drain fuel tank outdoors.

•Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

•DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

Change Oil

While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with recommended grade.

Oil Cylinder Bore

•Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.

•Install spark plug and pull starter handle slowly to distribute oil.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

• NEVER crank engine with spark plug removed.

Other Storage Tips

1.DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it has been treated as described in Long Term Storage Instructions.

2.Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in fuel can cause problems if it’s used with this unit.

3.Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture.

WARNING

Storage covers can be flammable.

•DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot generator.

•Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the cover on the equipment.

4.Store generator in clean, dry area.
