9.TRANSPORTING/STORAGE
m When transporting the generator, turn the engine switch and the
fuel valve OFF and keep the generator level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel
vapor or spilled fuel may ignite.
Before storing the unit for an extended period:
1. Be sure the storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
2. Drain the fuel -
a. With the fuel valve OFF, remove and empty the sediment cup.
b. Turn the fuel valve ON and drain the gasoline in the fuel tank into a
suitable container.
c. Replace the sediment cup and tighten securely.
d. Loosen the carburetor drain screw and drain the gasoline from the
carburetor into a suitable container.
SCREW
3. Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the piston
is coming up on its compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust
valves are closed. Storing the engine in this position will help to protect it
from internal corrosion.
