STORAGE
STORING GENERATOR
When a generator is in storage, air may condense and moisture may
appear on the windings. In order to minimize 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.
The generator must not be stored in ambient temperatures greater than
131oF (55oC) as this can damage the CO Detector (if equipped).
SHORT TERM (1-3 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 10 minutes to ensure that the fuel sta-
bilizer has been pulled in to the carburetor. Shut off the engine and allow
the engine to cool.
Turn the fuel valve to the off "O" position.
Move the generator to the storage place. Cover the generator.
LONG TERM (More than 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.
WARNING: GASOLINE IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND IS
EXPLOSIVE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. DRAIN THE
FUEL IN A WELLVENTILATED AREA WITH THE ENGINE
STOPPED AND COOL. NEVER SMOKE OR ALLOW FLAMES
OR SPARKS IN THE AREA DURING THIS PROCEDURE.
Make sure that the fuel valve is in the on "I" position. Remove the fuel
cap and the drain plug (1) from the carburetor bowl and drain the fuel
into a suitable container. DO NOT save the fuel for future use in the gen-
erator. Once the fuel has completely drained from the system install the
drain plug into the carburetor. Turn the fuel valve to the off "O" position.
Apply a small amount of oil to the threads on the fuel tank filler neck and
install the cap.
Change the engine oil.
Remove the spark plug and pour a small amount of oil into the cylin-
der. Install the spark plug but do not install the spark plug cap. Pull the
starter handle 3 times to distribute the oil over the cylinder walls.
Remove the battery and place the battery in storage. Periodically check
the battery and charge the battery when needed.
Move the generator to the storage place. Cover the generator.
