properly formulated
STABILIZER to the tank if it is not already added. 2-
Operate the engine for 5-10 minutes to circulate
treated fuel into fuel lines and carburetor before
shutdown.
3- After engine cools down, remove all gasoline
from the fuel tank. Use a commercially available,
non-conductive vacuum siphon.
DANGER
Drain fuel into approved container outdoors,
away from open flame. Be sure engine is cool. Do
not smoke.
4-FUEL STARVATION: Start and run the generator
until it stops from lack of fuel. This will dry out all
remaining fuel in tank, fuel lines and carburetor. 5-
Allow the unit to cool entirely before cleaning and
storage.
6-Change oil with recommended grade oil. 7-
Remove spark plug and pour about one teaspoon of
engine oil through the spark plug hole, then pull the
recoil starter several times to distribute the oil for
lubricating the cylinder. Reattach the spark plug. Pull
recoil slowly until resistance is felt. This will close the
valves so moisture cannot enter engine cylinder.
Gently release recoil starter.
8-Keep the engine switch and fuel valve on "OFF"
position.

NOTE:
•
We recommend always using a fuel stabilizer.
A FUEL STABLIZER will minimize the formulation
of fuel gum deposits during storage, the fuel
stabilizer can be added to the gasoline in the fuel
tank, or into the gasoline in a storage container.
•
If it is not practical to empty the fuel tank and the
unit is to be stored for some time, use a
commercially available FUEL STABILIZER added
to the gasoline to increase the life of the gasoline.
Run the unit for 5-10 minutes, turn off the fuel
valve and allow to run until engine stops from
lack of fuel (FUEL STARVATION).
•
Any damages or hazards caused by using
improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/ or
improperly formulated stabilizers,
covered by manufacturer's warranty.
•
Do not store gasoline from one season to
another season.
