STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

If your generator will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank, it is
important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition.
Select a well ventilated storage area away from any appliance that
operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes
dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor, or
where power tools are operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that
promotes rust and corrosion.
Place the generator on a level surface. Tilting can cause fuel or oil
leakage.
With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the generator to keep
out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some
materials.
Do not use a plastic sheet as a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap
moisture around the generator, promoting rust and corrosion.
Fully charge the battery. Recharge the battery once a month (see page
65).

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

Check your generator as described in the BEFORE OPERATION
chapter of this manual (see page 29).
If the generator was stored for 1 year or longer, drain the fuel tank
(see page 68) and refuel with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of
gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.
Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the
engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
