MAINTENANCE

QUICK DRAIN

WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable and explosive
under certain conditions. Wipe up any
spills immediately.
The generator is equipped with a quick-drain feature.
This feature will prevent the harmful effects of phase-
separated ethanol fuels. During the winter, the alcohol
and water can separate from the gasoline in blended
fuels. Because the water and alcohol are heavier than
gasoline, these corrosive fluids will sink to the bottom of
the fuel tank.
NOTICE
Never dispose of hazardous materials irresponsibly
by dumping them into a sewer, on the ground, into
groundwater or into waterways.
1. Remove the drain hose cap from the end of the
drain hose.
2. Open the quick drain valve
drain the fuel into a suitable container.

hose cap.

6. The quick drain procedure can also be used to
transfer fuel from the generator to be used in other
gasoline engine products.
