3. Keep the generator level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage.
4. Cover the generator once the engine and exhaust system is cool. Some
materials can ignite or melt if the engine and/or exhaust system is hot. Do not
use sheet plastic as a dust cover.
a. Use a cover made from a breathable fabric to prevent rust and corrosion.

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

1. Check the generator as described in the section Pre-Operation Checks.
2. If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with
fresh gasoline.
3. If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine
will smoke briefly at start up. This is normal.
TRANSPORTING THE GENERATOR
WARNING! Transport the generator with an empty fuel tank or with the fuel
valve lever secured in the OFF position.
1. Keep the generator level when transporting to reduce the possibility of
fuel leakage.
2. Turn the fuel valve (C) to the OFF position.
FUEL STORAGE
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Deteriorated gasoline makes it
harder to start the engine and leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If
that gasoline in your engine deteriorates during storage, you may need to
service or replace the carburetor and other fuel system components.
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor
without causing functional problems will vary with factors such as gasoline
blend, storage temperatures and the amount of fuel in the tank. The air in a
partially filled fuel tank will promote fuel deterioration, as will very warm storage
temperatures. Fuel problems may occur in a few months, or sooner if the
gasoline was not fresh when the tank was filled.
Adding a gasoline stabilizer that is formulated for this purpose can extend fuel
storage life. Deterioration problems can also be avoided by draining the fuel
tank and carburetor prior to storage.
