ENGINE
Perform the following steps to protect the cylinder, piston ring, etc.
from
corrosion.
1. Remove the spark plug; pour about one table-spoon of SAE 10W-
30 into the spark plug hole and reinstall the spark plug.
2. Recoil start the engine by turning over several times (with 3 in 1
switch knob off) to coat the cylinder walls with oil.
3. Pull the recoil starter until you feel compression. (This prevents the
cylinder and valves from rusting).
4. Then stop pulling.
5. Clean the outside of engine and spay antirust additive.
6. Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated place, with the cover
placed over it.
7. Store the engine vertically.
