Transporting/Storage - Honda EX2200 Owner's Manual

9. TRANSPORTING/STORAGE
m When transporting the generator, turn the engine switch OFF
and keep the generator level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapor or spilled
fuel may ignite.
Before storing the unit for an extended period:
1. Be-sure the storage area is free of excessive .humidity.and dust.
2. Drain the fuel-
a. Open the rear maintenance cover.
b. Turn the engine switch to ON and
then loosen the carburetor drain
screw. Drain the gasoline from the
carburetor and fuel tank into a
suitable container.
m
Gasoline is extremely
flammable and is explosive under
certain conditions. Perform this
task in a well ventilated area with
the engine stopped. Do not smoke
or allow flames or sparks in the
area during this procedure.
c. Tighten the carburetor drain
screw, turn the engine switch to
OFF and close the rear mainte-
nance cover.
3. Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the piston
is coming up on its compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust
valves are closed. Storing the engine in this position will help to protect it
from internal corrosion.
