7. Change the engine oil. It is recommended that the engine rest with the oil in
good condition.
8. Remove the cap of spark plug, pulling it out, and the spark plug. Put directly
into the cylinder (through the spark plug hole), a teaspoon of clean engine
oil (10 ~ 20ml). Smoothly, pull the starter rope of the engine, which will turn
the engine and distribute the oil. Then, put back the spark plug.
9. Slowly, pull the starter rope until you feel resistance. At this point, the piston
is rising in its compression stroke and the admission and exhaust valves
are closed. In this position, moisture cannot enter in the motor, which
provides protection against internal corrosion.
10. The generator must be protected by its packaging or covered with a
suitable cloth, and stored in a stable, clean and dry place, free of moisture
and without direct sunlight.
Alternative to avoid the fuel drainage: if for some reason it is not possible to
drain out the fuel tank completely, you can also choose to let it completely filled
with a gasoline and stabilizer treatment. After adding the stabilizer, start the engine
and keep it running for 10 minutes for the treated gasoline to flow. So, close the
fuel valve and keep it running until it stops due to lack of fuel.
NOTE: Check the maximum resistance period of the gasoline with the
stabilizer. If expired, gasoline must be completely replaced.
NOTE: Keep the tank completely full. If the amount of air is small, the
decomposition of the gasoline is slower.
NOTE: Regarding the quality of the stabilizer, we recommend choosing a
recognized brand. The use of an improper additive, wrong or of dubious quality
can cause failures or malfunctions, which are totally excluded from the warranty.
NOTE: The use of gasoline in bad condition or expired can cause failures or
malfunctions in the generator. Damage caused by the condition of the fuel is
completely excluded from the warranty.
NOTE: The stabilizer improves the good condition of the gasoline. Once the
expiry date of the manufacturer has expired, the gasoline is considered
inappropriate and cannot be used.
