The generator should be started at least once every seven
days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot
be done and you must store the unit for more than 30 days,
use the following guidelines to prepare it for storage.
Generator Storage
• Clean the generator as outlined in “Generator Cleaning”.
• Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator
are open and unobstructed.
Engine Storage
See engine operator’s manual for instructions.
Other Storage Tips
• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on
essential carburetor parts, empty all two supplied fuel
stabilizer containers into fuel tank and fill with fresh fuel.
Run the unit for several minutes to circulate the additive
through the carburetor.The unit and fuel can then be
stored for up to 24 months. Additional fuel stabilizer can
be purchased locally.
• DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless
it has been treated as described above.
• Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt
in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this unit.
• Store unit in a clean and dry area. • DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot generator.
• Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the
cover on the equipment.
Storage covers can be flammable.
