STORING GENERATOR
SHORT TERM (1-6 MONTHS):
1. Add diesel fuel conditioner and stabilizer at the specied
concentration.
2. Run the unit for two (2) minutes to ensure the mixed
fuel is in the entire fuel system. Close the fuel valve
and run the unit until it stops.
3. Clean the exterior surface of the generator and apply
a rust inhibitor.
4. Store the generator in a dry, well ventilated place.
LONG TERM (MORE THAN 6 MONTHS):
1. Add diesel fuel conditioner and stabilizer at the specied
concentration.
Storage
2. Run the generator until the fuel tank and carburetor
is dry.
3. Slowly pull the recoil starter handle out to the point of
resistance (the point in the compression stroke where
the intake and exhaust valves are closed). This helps
to prevent rust while the engine is not in use.
4. Clean the exterior surface of the generator and apply
a rust inhibitor.
5. Store the generator in a dry, well ventilated place.
WARNING: FUEL SHOULD BE DRAINED IN A
WELL VENTILATED AREA AND STORED IN A
CONTAINER APPROVED FOR DIESEL FUEL.

NotE: Unit ratings are established based on operation at standard conditions of 60° F and at sea level. The
performance of the generator must be de-rated for temperature and altitude by 1% for every 10° F above
60° F and 3.5% for every 1000 feet above sea level. Due to the operational characteristics of the thermal
type circuit breaker, the power available from the generator will decrease slightly with a corresponding
increase in ambient temperature.
Due to continuing product improvements, specications are subject to change without notice.
