Cooling System
Cooling system should only be serviced by an authorized dealer.
Carburetor Adjustment
The carburetor is low emission and is equipped with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve. If adjustment is needed contact an
authorized dealer.
Draining Fuel Tank and Carburetor
To help prevent gum deposits in the fuel system, drain the fuel from the tank and carburetor before storing the unit for long
periods of time. This will help prevent starting problems in the future. If the unit is stored with fuel and the fuel becomes
stale or turns gummy or to varnish the warranty does not cover this repair or service.
Storage
•
Remove any debris that has collected on the generator and around the muffler and controls. Use a vacuum cleaner to
pick up loose debris. If dirt is caked on, use a soft bristle brush.
• Inspect air cooling slots. Remove any debris if obstructed.
• Disconnect negative battery cable from battery.
• For short-term storage, start generator once every 7 days.
• For long-term storage, add fuel stabilizer to prevent stale fuel from causing acid and gum deposits in the fuel system
and carburetor.
• Store indoors and use a protective cover to protect from dust.
Draining the fuel tank
• Turn the engine OFF.
• Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
• Push the fuel valve knob through the valve holder bracket allowing you to access the petcock.
• Remove the fuel line that leads to the carburetor from the petcock by squeezing the ends of the hose clamps and
sliding the fuel line off.
• If needed, install a fuel hose that will extend to a suitable fuel container large enough to catch the fuel being drained
from the tank.
• Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
• When the fuel has drained from the tank, close the fuel valve and reinstall fuel line securely on petcock.
• Reinstall the fuel valve knob in the valve bracket. Push forward until knob snaps securely into position.
Draining the carburetor
• Turn the engine OFF.
• Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
• Position a suitable container under the carburetor drain screw to catch fuel; loosen the screw.
• Allow fuel to drain completely into container.

Consult your local hazardous waste management in your area for the proper way to dispose
of used fuel.
