SERVICE AND STORAGE
Infrequent Service
If the unit is used infrequently, difficult starting
may result. To eliminate hard starting, follow
these instructions:
1. Run the generator at least 30 minutes every
month.
2. Run the generator, then close the fuel shut-off
valve and allow the unit to run until the engine
stops.
3. Move the engine switch to the "OFF" position.
Long Term Storage
When the generator set is not being operated
or is being stored more than one month, follow
these instructions:
1. Replenish engine oil to upper level.
2. Run the generator, then close the fuel shut-off
valve and allow the unit to run until the engine
stops.
3. Move the engine switch to the "OFF" position.
4. After the unit has cooled, drain gasoline from
fuel tank, fuel line and carburetor.
5. Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through
the spark plug hole, pull the recoil starter
several times and replace the plug. Then pull
the starter until you feel the piston 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.
6. Cover the unit and store in a clean, dry place
that is well ventilated 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.
NEVER USE WATER TO CLEAN GENERATOR.
•
Pull starter handle until resistance is felt, leaving
