TRANSPORTING / STORAGE
B Storage
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
A DO NOT clean the machine with
engine running.
A To avoid the danger of exhaust fume
poisoning, do not operate the
engine in a closed building without
proper ventilation.
A When storing the generator just
after running, let the engine cool off.
Before storing the generator for more than a few
months, remove any dirt on the machine, and:
1. Remove dirty engine coolant, fill with new coolant
and run the engine for about 5 minutes.
When coolant is added, coolant level drops the first
time the engine is started, stop the engine and add
more coolant.
2. Remove dirty engine oil, fill with new oil and run the
engine for about 5 minutes to let the oil penetrate to
all the parts.
3. Check all the bolts and nuts, and tighten if
necessary.
4. Remove the battery from the generator, adjust the
electrolyte level, and recharge it. Store the battery in
a dry and dark place.
5. When the engine is not used for a long period of
time, run it for about 5 minutes under no load every
2 to 3 months to keep it free from rust. If the engine
is stored without any running, moisture in the air may
condense into dew over the sliding parts of the
engine, resulting in rust.
6. If you forget to run the engine for longer than 5 to 6
months, apply enough engine oil to the valve guide
and valve stem seal and make sure the valves work
smoothly before starting the engine.
7. Store the generator in a flat place and remove the
key.
8. Do not store the generator in a place where
flammable materials such as dry grass or straw are
present.
9. When covering the generator for storage, let engine
and muffler cool off completely.
10.Operate the engine after checking and repairing
damaged wiring or pipes, and clearing flammable
materials carried by rodents, insects or birds.
