DRAINING THE FUEL TANK
Drain and clean the fuel tank each year, or before storing the generator for longer than two months.
To drain the fuel tank and carburetor:
1. Locate the carburetor (Fig. 26 - 1). It can be accessed on
the back of the generator, right beside the air filter.
2. Prepare an approved gasoline-storage container and a
funnel.
3. Remove the fuel cap (Fig. 27 - 1) and turn the fuel valve
(Fig. 28 - 1) ON.
4. Open up the carburetor drain screw (Fig. 26 - 2) with a
Phillips screwdriver. Fuel will start draining from the carbu-
retor and fuel tank through the funnel.
NOTE: The draining process may take a few hours, depend-
ing on the amount of fuel in your gas tank.
5. Once fuel is completely drained from the tank, reinstall the
fuel cap and turn the fuel valve (Fig. 28 - 1) OFF. Tighten the
drain screw with the screwdriver.
6. Start and run the generator until the fuel runs out.
7. Store the emptied gasoline in a suitable place. DO NOT
store flammable materials near the gasoline.
CAUTION: Store the emptied gasoline in a suitable place.
Never store fuel for more than 2 months.
