SERVICE AND STORAGE
INFREQUENT SERVICE
If the unit is used infrequently, difficult starting may result.
to eliminate hard starting, run the generator at least 30 minutes
every month. Also, if the unit will not be used for some time, it is
a good idea to drain the fuel from the carburetor and gas tank.
LONG TERM STORAGE
When the generator set is not being operated or is being
stored more than one month, follow these instructions:
Replenish engine lubricant to upper level.
Drain gasoline from fuel tank, fuel line and carburetor.
a) Turn the engine switch off ( O ).
b) Close fuel valve.
c) Remove the fuel line from the petcock by squeezing the
ends of the retaining clip and sliding the fuel line off.
d) Install one end of a drain line over the petcock, and place
the other end in a fuel container large enough to catch the
fuel being drained from the tank.
e) Open fuel valve.
f) When the fuel has drained from the tank, close the fuel
valve and reinstall fuel line on petcock.
Pour about one teaspoon of engine lubricant through the
spark plug hole, pull the recoil starter several times and
replace the plug. Then pull the starter until you feel the pis-
ton is on its compression stroke and leave it in that position.
This closes both the intake and exhaust valves to prevent the
inside of the cylinder from rusting.
Cover the unit and store in a clean, dry place that is well ven-
tilated away from open flame or sparks.
NOTE: we recommend always using a fuel stabilizer.
A fuel stabilizer will minimize the formulation of fuel gum
deposits during storage. The fuel stabilizer can be added to
the gasoline in the fuel tank, or into the gasoline in a storage
container.
Do not store unit with fuel in the tank.
