Storage If you will not be using the generator set for a significant amount of time (3 months or longer) you
should store the generator to prevent any problems that could arise from sitting idle. Please fully
read the storage guidelines in Section 5 of this manual.
WARNING: Never store an engine with fuel in its tank indoors or in an enclosed, poorly ventilated area
where gasoline fumes could reach an ignition source and cause an explosion.
