STORAGE
STORAGE WITH FUEL IN TANK
Gasoline fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and
gum deposits to form in the fuel system or crucial carburettor parts. To keep fuel fresh:
1. Add a fuel stabiliser liquid additive to fuel.
2. Run engine for a minimum of 2 minutes to allow it to circulate throughout the engine
WARNING
Fuel and fuel vapour are extremely flammable and
explosive. Fire or explosion from misuse of fuel can
cause severe burns and even death.
FIRE HAZARD
RUST PREVENTION IN CYLINDERS
1. Remove spark plugs and pour approx. 15ml (1/2oz) of clean engine oil into the cylinder.
2. Install spark plug and briefly turn the key starter for 1-2 seconds to distribute oil.
DO NOT start engine at this time.
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can cause fire or electrical shock. Failure to
observe this warning can cause severe property damage, severe
burns and even death.
Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and cover tip of spark
plug wire with insulating tape and place wire where it cannot come
in contact with spark plug or generator frame.
WARNING
Certain storage covers can be flammable or can melt in high
temperatures. DO NOT place storage cover over generator until it
has completely cooled.
