TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
Generator Exercise
NOTE: . Exercise the generator by running it at a
50% load for two hours every month. This insures
fresh fuel is run through the fuel system and
prevents varnishing. In addition, seals and engine
components are lubricated and the chance of carbon
buildup in the upper cylinder head is lessened. Any
moisture that has accumulated in the generator
windings is baked out as well as keeping the battery
charged.
1. Perform "Pre-Operation
Operation Inspection" chapter).
2. If fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill tank
with fresh gasoline (see "Operation, Refueling"). If
gasoline is stored in a container, ensure the gasoline
is fresh. Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time,
causing hard starting.
Removing from Storage
NOTE: If the cylinder was coated with oil during
storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at
startup. This is normal.
