To prevent fuel spillage when transporting, be sure to perform the following:

1. Tighten the fuel cap.
2. Set the engine switch to OFF.
3. Drain the fuel tank if possible (see “DRAINING THE FUEL TANK” page 21).
4. Keep the generator upright. Never place the generator on its side or upside down - doing so will make 
it difficult to start.

TRANSPORTING THE GENERATOR

       

WARNING:

 Avoid direct sunlight inside a vehicle. If the generator is left in an enclosed vehicle for 

many hours, the high temperature could cause the fuel to vaporize and result in a possible explosion.

TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE

Shut off the generator and allow the unit to cool to room temperature before storing it. NEVER place any 
type of storage cover on the generator while it is still hot. Do not obstruct any ventilation openings. 

Follow the procedures below for properly storing your generator. We highly recommend running your gen-
erator once a month for 15 to 30 minutes. Plug in a small load in to ensure there is proper power output.

STORING THE GENERATOR

For Short Periods (30 to 60 Days): 

• Drain the carburetor (see page 18). 

• Gasoline stored over 30 days can start to go bad and 
damage fuel system components. 

Add fuel stabilizer:

Follow the suggested portions and instructions of your 
preferred stabilizer. Run the engine for 15 to 20 minutes, 
allowing the fuel stabilizer to mix with the gasoline and 
circulate through the carburetor, and then top off with 
fuel. Filling the fuel tank full reduces the amount of air in 
the tank and helps fight deterioration of fuel. 

For Extended Periods 

(Over 60 Days): 

• Drain the carburetor (see page 18). 

• Drain the fuel tank (see “DRAINING THE 
FUEL TANK” on page 21). Never store with 
fuel in the tank for more than two months. 

       

WARNING:

 Store the generator upright in a cool and dry location, away from sources of heat, open 

flames, sparks or pilot lights.
