Perform the following steps to protect the cylinder, pis-
ton ring, etc. from corrosion.
1. Remove the spark plug, pour about one table-
spoon of SAE 10W-30 or 20W-40 motor oil into the
spark plug hole and install the spark plug only.
Recoil start the engine by turning over several
times (with ignition off) to coat the cylinder walls
with oil.
2. Pull the recoil starter until you feel compression.
Then stop pulling. (This prevents the cylinder and
valves from rusting).
3. Clean exterior of the generator and apply a rust
inhibitor.
4. Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated place,
with the cover placed over it.
5. The generator must remain in a vertical position
when stored, carried or operated.
6. The caster lock lever should be in the "LOCK" posi-
tion when stored or operated.
