DRAINING THE CARBURETOR
We recommended draining the carburetor after every use (not necessary if the generator is shut off
using the "FUEL OFF" option), and before storing the generator. Draining the carburetor can prevent the
fuel from clogging up the carburetor and preventing the generator from starting.
1. Place generator on elevated platform such as table or
desk.
2. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver (not included), remove the
service panel by unscrewing the three Phillips-head screws
(Fig. 17 - 1) along the upper edge.
3. The carburetor (Fig. 18 - 1) can be accessed from the back-
side of the generator between the engine and the air filter.
Locate the transparent tube (Fig. 18 - 2) from the carburetor
that extends down through the bottom of the generator.
4. Prepare an approved gasoline-storage container and direct
the end of the drain tube into the containe.
5. Open up the carburetor drain screw (Fig. 19) with a flat-
head screwdriver (not included) and drain out any gasoline
that has built up inside the carburetor through the drain tube
into the approved gasoline-storage container.
6. Once the fuel has drained, tighten the drain screw with the
screwdriver.
NOTE: Make sure to drain your carburetor before storing the
generator for long periods of time.
7. Reinstall the service panel.
