BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Battery posts, terminals contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
1. Disconnect the negative (-) cable (black boot) from the
negative (-) battery post.
2. Disconnect the positive (+) battery cable (red boot) from
the positive (+) battery post.
3. Remove the battery.
ALWAYS connect the cables in the following sequence
to avoid possible shock.
4. On the replacement battery, connect the positive
(+) battery cable (red boot) to the battery positive (+)
terminal. Secure the boot over the battery post.
5. Connect the negative (-) battery cable (black boot) to
the negative (-) positive terminal. Secure the boot over
the battery post.
6. Install the battery in the battery tray. Install the battery
holder and side retainer, if removed.
Dispose of the used battery properly according to the
guidelines established by your local or state government.
STORAGE
Proper storage preparation is required for trouble-free
operation and generator longevity.
Gasoline stored for as little as 30 days can deteriorate,
causing gum, varnish, and corrosive buildup in fuel lines,
fuel passages, and the engine. This corrosive buildup
restricts the flow of fuel, which can prevent the engine
from starting after a prolonged storage period. The use
of fuel stabilizer significantly increases the storage life of
gasoline. Full-time use of fuel stabilizer is recommended.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.

SHORT TERM STORAGE
• Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes
before storage.
• If operating on propane, turn the propane tank valve
to the fully closed position and disconnect the LPG/
propane hose from the generator and propane tank.
• Replace all protective covers on the generator control
panel.
• Wipe the generator with a moist cloth. Clean any debris
from the muffler cooling vents.
• Store the generator in a well-ventilated, dry location
away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other sources of ignition such as areas with a spark-
producing electric motor or where power tools are
operated.
• DO NOT store the generator, gasoline, or propane tanks
near furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances
that produce heat or have automatic ignitions.
• With the engine and exhaust system cool and all
surfaces dry, cover the generator to keep out dust. DO
NOT use a plastic sheet as a dust cover. Non-porous
materials trap moisture and promote rust and corrosion.
LONG TERM STORAGE
Even properly stabilized fuel can leave residue and cause
corrosion if left long term. If storing the generator for over
six months, drain the fuel tank.
DRAINING THE FUEL TANK
If storing the generator for longer than six months, drain
the fuel tank to prevent fuel separation, deterioration, and
deposits in the fuel system.
1. Unscrew the fuel tank cap. Remove the fuel screen filter
by slightly compressing it while removing it from the
tank.
2. Using a commercially available gasoline hand pump
(not included), siphon the gasoline from the fuel tank
into an approved gasoline container. DO NOT use an
electric pump.
OR
Disconnect the fuel line from the bottom of the fuel tank
and allow the fuel to drain into an approved gasoline
container. Reinstall the fuel line.
