Storage Preparation
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive and can cause serious injury.
Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only
outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately.
Note: Long-term storage of the generator will require some additional
preventative measures to guard against deterioration. If fuel is kept in the
generator, ensure that the engine is run for at least 30 minutes per month
in order to ensure an easy start in emergencies.
Note: Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
1. If the generator will be stored with fuel, perform “Adding Fuel
Stabilizer”.
2. If the generator will be stored dry of fuel, perform the “Draining
Fuel” and “Fogging the Engine procedures.
3. Perform “Oil Change”. See page 50.
4. Remove the battery and store in cool, dry location. Use a battery
tender to maintain battery charge.
5. Clean the exterior of the generator with a clean cloth and apply a
rust inhibitor.
6. Turn fuel valve lever to OFF.
Do not pour water directly on to the generator or wash it with water.
