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 “Generator Cleaning”.
• Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator
are open and unobstructed.
Engine Storage
See engine owner’s manual for instructions.
Other Storage Tips
• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on
essential carburetor parts, add fuel stabilizer into fuel
tank and fill with fresh fuel. Run the unit for several
minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor.
The unit and fuel can then be stored for up to
24 months. Fuel stabilizer can be purchased locally.
• DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless
it has been treated as described above.
• Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt
in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this unit.
• Store unit in a clean and dry area.
