STORAGE
Generator
Risk of explosion or fire.
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.
1. Clean the generator as outlined
under Maintenance.
2. Check that cooling air slots and
openings on generator are open
and unobstructed.
Engine
If the engine has been
running, the muffler will be very hot. To
reduce the risk of injury, allow engine to
cool before proceeding.
If storing the unit for more than thirty
days drain all fuel out of fuel lines, tank
and carburetor bowl. Drain oil and refill
with fresh, clean oil.
IMPORTANT: Fuel will oxidize and
deteriorate in storage. If fuel is allowed
to deteriorate during storage the
carburetor and fuel related parts will
need to be serviced.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer can be used to
lengthen the fuel life, follow the fuel
stabilizer’s recommended instructions.
