Remove From Service

If the generator cannot be exercised monthly, at a
minimum, and will be out of service longer than 90 days,
proceed as follows to prepare the generator for storage:
1. Start engine and allow it to warm up.
2. Close fuel shutoff valve in the fuel supply line and
allow engine to stop.
3. Once the engine has stopped, set the generator
MLCB (generator disconnect) to OFF (OPEN).
4. Disconnect battery charger AC input T1/Neutral
cable (with white sleeve) at controller.
5. Remove 7.5 A fuse from the generator control
panel.
6. Disconnect battery cables. Remove the negative
cable first.
WARNING
Explosion. Batteries emit explosive gases.
Always disconnect negative battery cable
first to avoid spark. Failure to do so could
result in death or serious injury.
7. Drain oil completely while the engine is still warm,
and then fill crankcase with oil. See
Requirements.
8. Attach a tag to the engine indicating the viscosity
and classification of the new oil in the crankcase.
9. Remove spark plug(s) and spray a fogging agent
into spark plug(s) threaded openings. Install and
tighten spark plug(s) to specification.
10. Remove battery and store in a cool, dry place.
11. Clean and wipe down the generator enclosure.
