5. STORING THE GENERATOR SET
Note: If you store the generator for more than 30 days it is essential to protect the fuel system. This can be done by either draining all the
fuel or using a fuel additive such as "STA-BIL¨, "Fuel Fresh¨, or equivalent to prevent fuel gum deposits from forming.
Note: Store the generator in a safe, dry, childproof area, free of excessive humidity and dust.
!
WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable and petrol vapour is explosive. Do not permit smoking, naked flames, sparks or heat in
the vicinity while handling petrol. Avoid spilling petrol onto a hot engine. Comply with all laws regulating storage and handling
of fuels.
