SERVICE AND STORAGE

WARNING

Generator exhaust contains odourless and

colourless carbon monoxide gas.

To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of

your generator during periods of storage, the

following precautions should be followed:

When storing the generator for short or

extended periods of time make sure that the

Engine Switch and the Fuel Valve are set in the

OFF position.

Infrequent Service

If the unit is used infrequently, difficult starting

may result. To eliminate hard starting, follow

these instructions:

1. Run the generator at least 30 minutes every

month.

2. Run the generator, then close the fuel shut-off

valve and allow the unit to run until the engine

stops.

3. Move the engine switch to the "OFF" position.

Long Term Storage

When the generator set is not being operated

or is being stored more than one month, follow

these instructions:

1. Replenish engine oil to upper level.

2. Run the generator, then close the fuel shut-off

valve and allow the unit to run until the engine

stops.

3. Move the engine switch to the "OFF" position.

4. After the unit has cooled, drain gasoline from

fuel tank, fuel line and carburetor.

5. Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through

the spark plug hole, pull the recoil starter

several times and replace the plug. Then pull

the starter until you feel the piston is on its

compression stroke and leave it in that

position. This closes both the intake and

exhaust valves to prevent the inside of the

cylinder from rusting.

6. Cover the unit and store in a clean, dry place

that is well ventilated away from open flame

or sparks.

•

NOTE: We recommend always using a fuel

stabilizer. A fuel stabilizer will minimize the

formulation 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.
