protected from rain and high temperature. Shield the
generator set with cardboard or plastic to keep dust
from entering.

7.2.2 Protective treatment
Perform the following steps to protect the cylinder,
piston ring,... from corrosion:
1. Remove the spark plug; pour about one table-
spoon of SAE 10W-30 into the spark plug hole
and reinstall the spark plug.
2. Recoil start the engine by turning over several
times (with choke switched turned OFF) to coat
the cylinder walls with oil.
3. Pull the recoil starter until you feel compression.
This prevents the cylinder and valves from
rusting.
4. Clean the outside of the engine and spray anti-rust
and
additive.
5. Store the generator set in a dry, well-ventilated
place protected from rain and high temperature.
