Long-term storage

Before long-term storage (more than 30 days):
1. Put engine fuel shut-off valve in the closed position.
2. Disconnect fuel line from the carburetor. Place the open end of the line in an
appropriate bin and open the fuel shut-off valve to empty the tank.
Gasoline is highly flammable. Drain the fuel tank in a well-vented area and away
from flames or sparks.
WARNING
3. Open the drain plug on the carburetor and drain any remaining fuel from the
carburetor.
4. Change the engine oil.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour about 30 ml of clean engine oil in the
cylinder. Turn the engine over a few times to spread the oil on the inner walls
of the cylinder.
6. Pull the starter rope slowly until you notice resistance and put the handle in
this position. This ensures that the intake and exhaust vales are closed.
7. Store the generator in a dry and clean place.
