4. Start the engine on gasoline and allow the inverter
to run until all the remaining gasoline in the fuel
lines and carburetor is consumed and the engine
shuts o.
5. Drain any remaining fuel from the oat bowl. See
Draining the Float Bowl section.
6. Change the oil (see Changing Engine Oil
section).
7. Remove the spark plug (see Spark Plug
Maintenance section) and place about 1 tablespoon
of oil in the spark plug opening. While placing a
clean rag over the spark plug opening, slowly pull
the recoil handle to allow the engine to turn over
several times. This will distribute the oil and protect
the cylinder wall from corroding during storage.
8. Replace the spark plug (see Spark Plug
Maintenance section).
9. Move the inverter to a clean, dry place for storage.
STORAGE
WARNING
Never store an inverter with fuel in the
tank indoors or in a poorly ventilated
area where the fumes can come in
contact with an ignition source such
as a: 1) pilot light of a stove, water
heater, clothes dryer or any other gas
appliance; or 2) spark from an electric
appliance.
NOTICE
Gasoline stored for as little as 60 days can go bad,
causing gum, varnish and corrosive buildup in fuel
lines, fuel passages and the engine. This corrosive
buildup restricts the ow of fuel, preventing an engine
from starting after a prolonged storage period.
Proper care should be taken to prepare the inverter for
any storage
1. Make sure battery switch is OFF.
2. Clean the inverter.
3. Siphon all gasoline from the fuel tank as best as
possible.
MAINTENANCE

manual and understand and follow all safety instructions. Failure to follow all instructions may result in conditions that
can lead to voiding of the EPA certication or product warranty, serious personal injury, property damage or even death.
