Engine - Yamaha EF2000IS Owner's Manual

Engine

Perform the following steps to protect the cylinder, pis-
ton ring, etc. from corrosion.
1. Remove the spark plug, pour about one table-
spoon of engine oil (See page 35) into the spark
plug hole and install the spark plug. Recoil start
the engine by turning over several times (with igni-
tion off) to coat the cylinder walls with oil.
2. Pull the recoil starter until you feel compression.
Then stop pulling. (This prevents the cylinder and
valves from rusting).
3. Clean exterior of the generator and apply a rust
inhibitor.
4. Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated place,
with the cover placed over it.
5. The generator must remain in a vertical position
when stored, carried or operated.
