STORAGE

A
To avoid accidental or unintended ignition of your generator
during periods of storage, the following precautions should be
followed:
– When storing the generator make sure the EZ Start dial is
set to the "OFF" position.
WARNING
The following storage instructions are only necessary if using
petrol. As long as there is no petrol in the fuel tank, system
lines, or carburetor, LPG will not gum up or clog the carburetor.
However, ensure the LPG hose is disconnected from the
generator and LPG tank is shut off and properly stored. If
storing for an extended period, inspect fuel system and LPG
hose lines and fittings for leaks upon removal from storage.
Short Term Storage (up to 30 days)
Petrol in the fuel tank has a maximum shelf life of up to 1 year
with the addition of properly formulated fuel stabilizers and if
stored in a cool, dry place. Petrol in the carburetor, however, may
gum up and clog the carburetor if it isn't used or drained within
2-4 weeks.
If using the generator within 2 weeks, follow the steps according
to Stopping the Engine section.
1. If not using the generator for 2-4 weeks, begin by making
