STORING THE GENERATOR

Shut off the generator and allow the unit to cool to room temperature before storing

it. NEVER place any type of storage cover on the generator while it is still hot. DO

NOT obstruct any ventilation openings.

Follow the procedures below for properly storing your generator. We highly

recommend running your generator once a month for 20 to 30 minutes. Plug in a

small load to ensure there is proper power output.

FOR SHORT PERIODS (30 TO 60 DAYS)

NOTE: DO NOT store fuel for more than 2 months

• Drain the fuel tank and carburettor (see section Draining the Fuel Tank/

carburettor on pages 22-23).

• Disconnect the negative lead from the battery (see section Connecting the Battery

on pages 14-15).

• Add fuel stabiliser. Follow the suggested portions and instructions for your

preferred stabiliser. Run the engine for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the fuel

stabiliser to mix with the petrol and circulate through the carburettor, and then top

off with fuel. Filling the fuel tank full reduces the amount of air in the tank and

helps fight deterioration of the fuel.

FOR EXTENDED PERIODS (OVER 60 DAYS)

• Disconnect the negative lead from the battery (see section Connecting the Battery

on pages 14-15).

• Drain the fuel tank and carburettor (see section Draining the Fuel Tank/

carburettor on pages 22-23). NEVER store the generator with fuel in the tank for

more than two months.

• Change the engine oil (see section Draining and Changing the Oil on pages 23-

24).

FOR 1 YEAR OR MORE

• Remove the spark plug, put a tablespoon of engine oil into the spark plug cylinder.

Turn the engine slowly using the pull rope to distribute the engine oil. Reinstall the

spark plug.

• Drain the fuel tank and carburettor (see section Draining the Fuel Tank/

carburettor on pages 22-23).

• Change the engine oil.

• After removal from storage, fill with fresh petrol.
