6.0 Draining Fuel Tank and Carburetor

7.0 Storing Generator

Proper storage preparation will help prevent corrosion damage and help extend the life of the fuel system. Prior to

storage clean the generator entirely with a damp rag. Once dry, touch up damaged paint and lightly coat exposed

metal surfaces with a quality rust inhibitor. To prevent fuel oxidizing, entirely drain the fuel system. If this is not

possible, fill the fuel tank entirely to reduce the air in the tank (air hastens fuel oxidation) and ensure a quality

gasoline stabilizer is used per the manufacturer's recommendations. It is also good practice to change the oil before

long term storage.

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or otherwise seriously

injured improperly handling fuel. STOP the engine and let it fully cool before adding or

draining fuel. Remove all sources of ignition, heat, and spark from the immediate area.

Wipe up spills immediately.

WARNING!

1. Open the maintenance cover.
2. Place a suitable gasoline conatiner below the carburetor

drain hose.

3. Loosen the carburetor drain screw and drain the gasoline

from the carburetor (see Figure 6-1).

4. After all the fuel has drained into the container, tighten the

drain screw securely.

5. Place an approved gasoline container below the sediment

cup, and use a funnel to avoid spilling fuel (see Figure 6-2).

Note: The engine fuel tank can hold 3.5 U.S. gallons

(13.3L) of fuel.

6. Remove the sediment cup, then move the Fuel Valve Lever

to the ON position.

7. Allow the fuel to drain completely, then reinstall the

sediment cup.

8. Close the maintenance cover.
