8. TRANSPORTING/STORAGE

8.1 Transporting.

When transporting the generator, turn the fuel valve lever OFF and keep the generator level to prevent
fuel spillage. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may ignite. Do not transport the generator in a vehicle with fuel
in the tank.
8.2 Exercising the generator
It is essential that the generator be exercised on a regular basis. This will prevent the accumulation of
varnish or sludge in the fuel system and also remove moisture from the generator windings.
Additionally, seals and other moving engine parts are kept lubricated and the battery is recharged.
Exercise the generator by running it with at least a 1/2 load (1500W) for 60 minutes per month.
Gasoline fuel treatments to prevent contamination of your fuel supply are available from your dealer.
Fuel varnishing necessitating replacement of the carburetor is not a warrantable failure.

8.3 Extended storage

2. Drain the fuel
A. Open the left side maintenance cover.
B. Turn fuel valve lever to ON and then loosen the carburetor drain screw. Drain the gasoline from the
