Engine

Perform the following steps to protect the cylinder, piston ring, etc. from corrosion.

1. Remove the spark plug, pour about one tablespoon of SAE 10W-30 or 20W-40 motor oil into the spark plug hole and reinstall the spark plug. Recoil start the engine by turning over several times (with ignition off) to coat the cylinder walls with oil.

2.Pull the recoil starter until you feel compression. Then stop pulling. (This prevents the cylinder and

valves from rusting).

3. Clean exterior of the generator and apply a rust inhibitor.

4. Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated place, with the cover placed over it.

5. The generator must remain in a vertical position when stored, carried or operated.
