Storage
The generator should be started at least once every seven
days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be
done and you must store the unit for more than 30 days, use
the following guidelines to prepare it for storage.
Generator Storage
• Clean the generator as outlined in Cleaning in the
Maintenance section.
• Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator
are open and unobstructed.
Long Term Storage Instructions
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs
& Stratton FRESH START™ fuel stabilizer, available as a
liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel
stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine
for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel
system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to
24 months.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run
the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel
stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to
maintain freshness.
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers
or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source
because they can ignite fuel vapors.
WHEN DRAINING FUEL
• Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in
tank.
• Drain fuel tank outdoors.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

Change Oil
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill
with recommended grade.
Oil Cylinder Bore
• Remove spark plug and pour about 1 ounce (30 ml) of
clean engine oil into the cylinder.
• Install spark plug and pull starter handle slowly to
distribute oil.
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or
electric shock.
• NEVER crank engine with spark plug removed.
Other Storage Tips
1. DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it
has been treated as described in Protect Fuel System.
2. Replace fuel can if it starts to rust. Contaminated fuel
will cause engine problems.
3. If possible, store unit indoors and cover it to give
protection from dust and dirt.
4. Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not
retain moisture.
WARNING
Storage covers can be flammable.
• DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot generator.
• Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the cover
on the equipment.
5. Store generator in clean, dry area.
