Prepare Fuel System for Storage
Fuel stored over 30 days can go bad and damage fuel system components. Keep
fuel fresh, use fuel stabilizer.
If fuel stabilizer is added to fuel system, prepare and run engine for long term
storage. Run engine for 10-15 minutes to circulate stabilizer throughout fuel
system. Adequately prepared fuel can be stored up to 24 months.
NOTE: If fuel has not been treated with fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an
approved container. Run engine un
til it stops from lack of fuel. Use of fuel
stabilizer in fuel storage container is recommended to keep fuel fresh.
1. Change engine oil.
2. Remove spark plug.
3. Pour tablespoon (5-10cc) of clean engine oil or spray a suitable fogging agent
into cylinder.
WARNING
Vision Loss. Eye protection is required to avoid spray from spark plug
hole when cranking engine. Failure to do so could result in vision loss.
4. Pull starter recoil several times to distribute oil in cylinder.
5. Install spark plug.
6. Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt. This will close valves so moisture
cannot enter engine cylinder. Gently release
recoil.
Transport
To prevent fuel spillage when transporting or during temporary storage, the
generating set should
be secured upright in its normal operating position, with the engine switch OFF.
The combination switch should be in the “stop” position a
nd knob of the fuel cap
should be turned to the “OFF” position.
