WARNING
To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of your generator
during periods of storage, the following precautions should be
followed:
– When storing the generator make sure the fuel select dial
is set to the “ENGINE STOP” position.
Short Term Storage (up to 30 days)
Gasoline may gum up and clog the carburetor if the generator is
not run or carburetor drained within 4 weeks.
1. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
2. Start the generator as instructed in Starting the Engine
section.
3. Turn the fuel select dial to the “GASOLINE OFF” position.
4. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the
engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
5. Turn the fuel select dial to the “ENGINE STOP” position.
Mid Term Storage (30 days – 1 year)
Gasoline in the tank has a maximum shelf life of up to 1 year with
the addition of a properly formulated fuel stabilizer and stored in a
cool, dry place.
1. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
2. Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the gasoline tank.
3. Start the generator as instructed in Starting the Engine
section.
4. Run the generator for 10 minutes so the treated gasoline
cycles through the fuel system.
5. Option 1: Drain Gasoline from Carburetor
5a. Turn the fuel select dial to the “ENGINE STOP” position
and allow generator to cool completely before continuing.
5b. Use 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.
