1. Shut off the generator if it's been running.
2. Allow the generator to cool down so all surface
areas of the muffler and engine are cool to the
touch.
3. Move the generator to a flat surface.
4. Turn the fuel shutoff valve to the OFF position.
5. Clean the exterior of the fuel shutoff valve and
sediment cup with a rag.
6. Unscrew the sediment cup anti-clockwise
(see Figure 40) taking care to hold it with one hand
to prevent it from dropping onto the ground and
spilling its contents. Remove also the O-ring and
sediment filter (see Figure 41) by hand.
7. Pour the contents of the fuel sediment cup into a
suitable waste receptacle and then use a rag to
wipe it clean and dry.
8. Tap the fuel sediment filter lightly or use low
pressure compressed air if necessary to remove
any fine grit trapped in the filter mesh.
NOTICE
Never dispose of fuel or fuel contaminants by
dumping either of them into a sewer, on the ground,
or into groundwater or waterways. Always be
environmentally responsible. Follow the guidelines
of the governmental agencies for proper disposal
of hazardous materials. Consult local authorities or
reclamation facility.
