Engine

 Perform the following steps to protect the cylinder, piston

ring, etc from corrosion:

 Remove the spark plug, pour about one tablespoon of SAE

10W-30 or 20W-40 motor oil into the spark plug hole and

reinstall the spark plug. Recoil start the engine by turning

over several times (with ignition off) to coat the cylinder

walls with oil.

 Pull the recoil starter until you feel compression. Then

stop pulling (this prevents the cylinder and valves from

rusting)

 Clean exterior of the generator and apply a rust inhibitor.

 Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated place, with

the cover placed over it.

 The generator must remain in a vertical position when

stored, carried or operated.

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

Follow the normal procedures for pre-operation checks and starting. Use

only fresh fuel to refill the tank, if necessary, rather then re-using the old

fuel.
