Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Prepare Fuel System for
Storage
Fuel stored over 30 days can go bad and
damage fuel system components. Keep fuel
fresh, use fuel stabilizer.
If fuel stabilizer is added to fuel system,
prepare and run engine according to
Washer Start-Up. Run engine for 2 minutes to
circulate stabilizer throughout fuel system.
Adequately prepared fuel can be stored up to
24 months.
NOTE: If fuel has not been treated with fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved
container. Run engine until it stops from lack
of fuel. Use of fuel stabilizer in fuel storage
container is recommended to keep fuel fresh.

to remove remaining liquid from pump.
9. Winterize pump with Generac Pump
Shield™. This minimizes freeze damage
and lubricates pistons and seals.
