Preparation For Storage - Mi-T-M Corporation GEN-2000-iMM1 Manual Del Operador

PREPARATION FOR STORAGE

When a generator is in storage, air may condense and
moisture may appear on the windings. In order to mini-
mize condensation, always store the generator in a dry
area. Cover the generator with a protective cover that
extends to the ground. The cover should remain loose
around the generator in order to allow proper ventilation.
STORAGE FOR 1 TO 3 MONTHS
Remove any dirt, rust, grease, and oil from the generator.
DO NOT use a pressure washer to clean the generator.
Inspect the exterior. Make any necessary repairs.
Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank to prevent the gasoline
from going bad. Start and run the engine for 5 minutes
to ensure that the fuel stabilizer has been pulled in to the
carburetor. Shut off the engine and allow the engine to
cool.
Turn the generator switch to the off "O" position.
Move the generator to the storage place.
Cover the generator.
STORAGE FOR MORE THAN 3 MONTHS

the engine stops, to allow the fuel to drain from the fuel
lines, carburetor, and engine system.

into the cylinder. Install the spark plug but do not install
the spark plug boot.
