STORAGE
Turn the unit off and allow it to cool a minimum of 30 minutes before storage. Keep the unit upright. Do not store the
generator on its side. Drain fuel before storing the unit. Store the unit and the fuel separately in well-ventilated areas
away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other sources of ignition.
NOTICE
Gasoline stored for as little as 30 days can deteriorate, causing gum, varnish, and corrosive buildup
in fuel lines, fuel passages, and the engine. This corrosive buildup restricts the flow of fuel, which can prevent the
engine from starting after a prolonged storage period. The use of fuel stabilizer significantly increases the storage
life of gasoline. Full-time use of fuel stabilizer is recommended. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
STORAGE TIME
