TRANSPORTING THE GENERATOR

• Tighten the fuel cap and turn the fuel valve to OFF position.

• Drain the fuel tank if possible (see Draining the Fuel Tank).

• Keep the generator upright. Never place the generator on its side or upside down. Doing so will make it difficult

to start.

STORAGE & TRANSPORT

STORING THE GENERATOR

Shut off the generator and allow the unit to cool to room temperature before storage. Never place any type of stor-

age cover on the generator while it is still hot. Do not obstruct any ventilation openings.

Store the generator and fuel in a cool and dry location, away from sources of heat, open flames, sparks or pilot lights.

Follow the procedures below for properly storing your generator.

For Short Periods (30 to 60 Days):

• Drain the carburetor.

• Gasoline stored over 30 days can go bad and damage fuel system components. Add fuel stabilizer, following

the suggested portions and instructions of your preferred stabilizer. Run the engine for 2 to 3 minutes, allow-

ing the fuel stabilizer to mix with the gasoline and circulate through the carburetor, and then top off with fuel.

NOTE: Filling the fuel tank full reduces the amount of air in the tank and helps fight deterioration of fuel.

For Extended Periods (Over 60 Days):

• Drain the carburetor.

• Drain the fuel tank (see Draining the Fuel Tank). Never store with fuel in the tank for more than two months.

• Change engine oil (see Draining the Oil).

IMPORTANT: Run the generator ONCE A MONTH for 15 minutes. This is necessary for prolonging the life-

time of your generator and ensure that the generator can function properly for your next operation. Afterwards, shut

off and drain the carburetor. Store the generator with a dry carburetor.
