STORAGE / TRANSPORT PROCEDURES
CAUTION:
Never place any type of storage cover on the generator
while it is still hot.
If the generator is being stored for short periods of time (30 – 60 days), add stabilized fuel to the
fuel tank until full. NOTE: Filling the tank reduces the amount of air in the tank and helps reduce
deterioration of fuel. Run the engine for 2 – 3 minutes allowing stabilized fuel mixture to
circulate through the carburetor.
When transporting or storing the generator for extended periods of time:
x Drain the fuel tank (see “Draining the Fuel Tank” in the “Maintenance” section).
x Disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
x Disconnect the battery.
x Do not obstruct any ventilation openings.
x Keep the generator in a cool dry area.
