engine.
Install and tighten spark plugs. Do not connect spark plug wires.
Clean the generator outer surfaces. Check that cooling air slots and
openings on generator are open and unobstructed.

3.9 OTHER STORAGE TIPS
Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
Replace the gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in the
gasoline will cause problems with the carburetor and fuel system.
If possible, store the unit indoors and cover it to give protection from
dust and dirt. BE SURE TO EMPTY THE FUEL TANK.
If it is not practical to empty the fuel tank and the unit is to be stored
for some time, use a commercially available fuel stabilizer added to the
gasoline to increase the life of the gasoline.
Cover the unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain
moisture.
DANGER
NEVER cover the generator while engine and/or
exhaust area are warm.
