DRAINING
THE
CARBURETOR FLOAT BOWL
See Figure 33 and 34.
WARNING
a container approved for gasoline. Unapproved
containers can break or deteriorate allowing
gasoline or gasoline vapors to escape which can
create a serious hazard.
Even properly stabilized fuel can leave residue and
cause corrosion if left long term. If storing the generator
for two to six months, drain the float bowl to prevent
gum and varnish buildup in the carburetor. If storing
the generator for longer than six months, drain the
fuel tank to prevent fuel separation, deterioration, and
deposits in the fuel system.
l Turn off the generator and allow the engine to cool for
30 minutes.
l Place the generator on a level surface in a well-
ventilated area.
l Disconnect the propane hose from the LP gas cylinder
and the generator.
To drain the float bowl:
l Place a drain hose (not included) on the bottom of the
carburetor float bowl.
l Place the bottom end of the drain hose (not included)
into an approved gasoline container to catch the drained
fuel.
l Loosen the float bowl drain screw and allow the fuel to
drain. Tighten the float bowl drain screw.
l Remove the drain hose (not included)
