STORAGE
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your generator in good
condition. The steps below will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing
your generator's function and appearance and will make the generator easier to
start when used again.
The following precautions should be taken if storing your generator for a period
exceeding 30 days or for seasonal storage.
1. Store in a clean dry area.
2. Change the oil while the engine is still warm (see section How to Drain Oil).
3. Clean the debris, chaff or grass from the engine's surface.
4. Inspect air cooling slots. Remove any debris if obstructed.
5. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank into a proper receptacle for storage.
6. Remove the spark plug. Place 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of oil into the spark plug hole.
7. Turn the 3-in-1 start switch (Q) to the OFF position. Pull starter rope slowly
8-10 times to properly coat the cylinder bore and piston for storage.
Replace spark plug and tighten. Any residual oil will burn off in subsequent
starts. This may result in white smoke emission from muffler.
8. Pull the recoil starter rope again until you feel a slight resistance and stop. The
piston cylinder will move into the sleeve. This will help prevent the engines
from rusting inside.
STORING GENERATOR WITH FUEL
WARNING! Keep the generator away from ignition sources such as sparks, the
open flame of a pilot light when storing with fuel in the tank. An ignition source
can ignite gasoline vapours.
1. If your generator will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it
is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapour ignition.
a. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any appliance that
operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer.
b. Avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor.
c. Avoid any area where power tools are operated.
2. If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, as this promotes rust
and corrosion.
