DE-CARBONIZE ENGINE CYLINDER HEADS
Excessive carbon buiid-up in engine combustion area will rob engine power and result in rough
engine operation. Have carbon deposits removed every 300 operating hours, more often if
operating under a steady load, or whenever cylinder head is removed.
STORAGE
Whenever the alternator is to be idle for longer than 30 days, prepare for storage as follows;
1, Disconnect fuel supply hose from fuel tank filler cap,
2. Start engine and let it run out of gas.
3, Let engine cool.
4, When engine has cooled, remove both spark plugs. Pour 2 or 3 tablespoons of clean engine oil
into each spark plug opening. Crank engine to distribute oil.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry, dust-free area.
6. Before using unit after storage, drain and refill engine crankcase with recommended oil. See
