NEVER store engine with fuel in tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly
ventilated areas where fumes may reach an open flame, spark or
pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas
appliance. Drain fuel into approved container outdoors, away from
open flame. Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke.
Avoid spray from spark plug holes when cranking engine.
It is important to avoid gum deposits from forming in essential fuel
system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage.
Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (gasohol,
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation
and formation of acids storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the
fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer,
as follows:
1. Remove all gasoline from the fuel tank.
2. Start and run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel.
3. While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with
recommended grade.
4. Remove spark plugs and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of engine oil
in the cylinders. Cover spark plug hole with rag. Pull the recoil starter
a couple times to lubricate the piston rings and cylinder bore.
5. Install and tighten spark plugs. Do not connect spark plug wires.
6. Clean the generator outer surfaces. Check that cooling air slots and
openings on generator are open and unobstructed.
7. Store the unit in clean, dry place.
8. Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
9. Replace the gasoline can if it start to rust. Rust and/or dirt in the
gasoline will cause problems with the carburetor and fuel system.
10. If possible, store the unit indoors and cover it to give protection
from dust and dirt. BE SURE TO EMPTY THE FUEL TANK.
11. If it is not practical to empty the fuel tank and the unit is to be stored
for some time, use a commercially available fuel stabilizer added to
the gasoline to increase the life of the gasoline.
12. Cover the unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain
moisture.
