4.6 — Long Term Storage
1. Drain oil from crankcase after the engine cools down. Refill with
recommended grade.
2. Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of engine
oil into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with rag. Pull the recoil

bore. A fogging agent can be used in place of oil.
Avoid spray from spark plug hole when cranking engine.
3. Install and tighten spark plug. Do not connect spark plug wire.
4. Clean the generator outer surfaces. Check that cooling air slots
and openings on generator are open and unobstructed.
