DANGER
Any damages or hazards caused by using
improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/
or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacturer's warranty.
•
Drain fuel into approved container outdoors,
away from open flame. Be sure engine is cool.
Do not smoke.
4-FUEL STARVATION: Start and run the generator
until stops from lack of fuel. This will dry out all
remaining fuel in tank, fuel lines and carburetor.
7-Remove spark plug and pour about one teaspoon
of engine oil through the spark plug hole, pull the
recoil starter several times to distribute the oil for
lubricating the cylinder. Reattach the spark plug.
Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt. This will
close the valves so moisture cannot enter engine
cylinder. Gently release recoil starter.
5-Allow the unit to cool entirely before cleaning
and storage.
6-Change oil with recommended grade oil.
8-Keep the engine switch and fuel valve on “OFF”
position.
9-Cover the unit and store in a clean, dry place
out of direct sunlight. NEVER USE WATER TO
CLEAN GENERATOR.
NOTE:
We recommend always using a fuel stabilizer.
A FUEL STABLIZER will minimize the formula-
tion of fuel gum deposits during storage, the
fuel stabilizer can be added to the gasoline in
the fuel tank, or into the gasoline in a storage
container.
•
If it is not practical to empty the fuel tank and
the unit is to be stored for some time, use a
commercially available FUEL STABILIZER added
to the gasoline to increase the life of the gasoline.
Run the unit for 5-10 minutes, turn off the fuel
valve and allow to run until engine stops from
lack of fuel (FUEL STARVATION).
•
Do not store gasoline from one season to
another season.
