STORAGE

Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and extremely
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. Only
fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT
pump gasoline directly into the generator. Use an approved
container to transfer the fuel to the generator. Never use
a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel item
that is damaged or appears damaged. DO NOT overfill the
gasoline tank. Always keep fuel away from sparks, open
flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.

Short Term Storage (up to 30 days)

Gasoline may gum up and clog the carburetor if the generator is
not run or carburetor drained within 4 weeks.
1. Be sure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
2. Start the generator as instructed in "Starting the Engine"
section.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the "OFF" position.
4. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the
engine. This usually takes a few minutes.

Mid Term Storage (30 days – 1 year)

tank.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the "ON" position.
