NEVER store engine with fuel in tank indoors or in enclosed,
poorly ventilated areas where fumes may reach an open flame,
spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or
other gas appliance. Drain fuel into approved container outdoors,
away from open flame. Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke.
Avoid spray from spark plug holes when cranking engine.
• If it is not practical to empty the fuel tank and the unit is to be stored for
some time, use a commercially available fuel stabilizer added to the gasoline
to increase the life of the gasoline.
• Cover the unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture.
It is important to avoid gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts
such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, experience indicates
that alcohol-blended fuels (gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture,
which leads to separation and formation of acids storage. Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the
fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer, as follows:
1. Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank.
2. Start and run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel.
3. While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with recommended
grade.
4. Remove spark plugs and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of engine oil the
cylinders. Cover spark plug hole with rag. Pull the recoil starter a couple times
to lubricate the piston rings and cylinder bore.
5. Install and tighten spark plugs. Do not connect spark plug wires.
6. Clean the generator outer surfaces. Check that cooling air slots and openings
on generator are open and unobstructed.
7. Store the unit in clean, dry place.
8. Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
9. Replace the gasoline can if it start to rust. Rust and/or dirt in the gasoline will
cause problems with the carburetor and fuel system.
10. If possible, store the unit indoors and cover it to give protection from dust
and dirt. BE SURE TO EMPTY THE FUEL TANK.
11. If it is not practical to empty the fuel tank and the unit is to be stored for
some time, use a commercially available fuel stabilizer added to the gasoline
to increase the life of the gasoline.
12. Cover the unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture.
