Short Term Storage (30 days – 1 year)
Ethanol blended gasoline in the tank has a maximum shelf life

stabilizer and stored in a cool, dry place.
1. The generator is to be OFF and all appliances disconnected.
2. Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the gasoline tank.

cycles through the fuel system.
5. Turn the fuel select dial to the “ENGINE STOP” position and
allow generator to cool completely before continuing.
6. Remove the drain bolt on the carburetor to empty any excess
gasoline from the carburetor into an appropriate container.
Use a funnel (and appropriate hose if necessary) under the
carburetor drain bolt to avoid spillage.
7. When gasoline stops flowing from the carburetor, replace
and tighten the carburetor drain bolt and be sure to properly
dispose of the drained gasoline according to local regulations
or guidelines.

tablespoon of oil into the cylinder.
9. Pull the recoil cord slowly to crank the engine to distribute the
oil and lubricate the cylinder.
