3.12.1 REMOVAL FROM SERVICE
Prepare the generator for storage as follows:
1. Start the engine and let it run until it is thoroughly
warmed up (at least five minutes), then shut off the
engine.
2. While the engine is still warm from running, drain
the oil completely (see Section 3.2). Refill the
crankcase with the recommended oil (see Section
1.5.3).
3. Attach a tag to the engine, indicating the viscosity
and classification of the oil in the crankcase.
4. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry room
on a wooden board. Never store the battery on any
concrete or earthen floor.
5. Clean and wipe the entire generator.
3.12.2 RETURN TO SERVICE
To return the unit to service after storage, proceed
as follows:
1. Check the tag on the engine for oil viscosity and
classification. Verify that the correct recommended
oil is used in the engine (see Section 1.5.3). If nec-
essary, drain and refill with the proper oil.
2. Check the state of the battery. Fill all cells of
unsealed batteries to the proper level with distilled
water. DO NOT USE TAP WATER IN THE BATTERY.
Recharge the battery to 100 percent state of charge,
or, if defective, replace the battery.
3. Clean and wipe the entire generator.
4. Reconnect the battery. Observe battery polarity.
Damage may occur if the battery is connected incor-
rectly.
5. Turn OFF all electrical loads. Add fuel, if necessary,
and then start the engine.
6. Allow the unit to warm up thoroughly.
7. Apply electrical loads to at least 50 percent of the
unit’s rated wattage capacity.
8. When the engine is thoroughly warmed up, shut it
down.
9. The generator is now ready for service.
