storage location or by untrained persons.
Storage location.
Store the generator in a dry location away from sources of heat, open flames, sparks or
pilot lights – such as water heaters, space heaters, furnaces, clothes dryers, or other gas appliances – EVEN IF
the generator’s gas tank is empty. Residual gasoline could ignite.
Exercise regularly.
Exercise generator every four weeks to dry out moisture that accumulates in the
windings. If generator cannot be exercised on a regular basis, prepare generator for long term storage.
Periodic maintenance.

working on the engine or generator to prevent accidental starting.
Discharge capacitor.
When the generator is shut down, the capacitor may maintain a charge. Always
discharge the capacitor before working on the generator head to prevent electrical shock.
Replace guards / shields.
Make sure all guards and shields are replaced after servicing the generator.
Replacement parts.
If a part needs replacement, only use parts that meet the manufacturer’s specifications.
Replacement parts that do not meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor operation of the
