8.TRANSPORTING/STORAGE
8.1 When transporting the generator, turn the fuel valve lever OFF and keep
the generator level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may ignite.
8.2 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 left side maintenance cover.
b. Turn fuel valve lever to ON and then loosen the
carburetor drain screw. Drain the gasoline fr m the
carburetor and fuel tank into a suitable container.
c.Tighten the carburetor screw, close the fuel valve lever and left side
maintenance cover.
3. Once a month, recharge the battery.
4.Change the engine oil.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour about a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the
cylinder. Crank the engine several revolutions to distribute the oil, then reinstall the
spark plug.
6.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.
