8. STORAGE
The generator should be started at least once every 14 days and allowed to run for at least
20 minutes. For longer term storage, please follow these guidelines.
1. Add a properly formulated fuel stabilizer to the tank.
2. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
3. Run the generator for a few minutes so the treated fuel cycles through the fuel system
and carburetor.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the "Off" position.
5. Let the generator run until fuel starvation has stopped the engine. This usually takes a
few minutes.
6. The generator needs to cool completely before cleaning and storage.
7. Clean the generator according to the maintenance section.
8. Change the oil.
9. Remove the spark plug and pour about 1⁄2 ounce (14.8 ml) of oil into the cylinder.
Crank the engine slowly to distribute the oil and lubricate the cylinder.
10. Reattach the spark plug.
11. Store the unit in a clean, dry place out of direct sunlight.
NOTE:
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend fuels. When using blended fuels
there are some issues worth noting:
Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than gasoline alone.
These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel
valve and carburetor.
With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised fuel can be drawn into the carburetor
and cause damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer that are formulated to work with ethanol
blend fuels.
Any damages or hazards caused by using improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/or
improperly formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacture's warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply, run the engine to fuel starvation and
drain the tank when the equipment is not in use for more than 30 days.
