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 or laying it on its side 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.

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

Check your generator as described in the "BEFORE OPERATION" chapter of this
manual (see page 33).
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the fuel tank 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.
