STORAGE
4. After all the gasoline has drained into the container, tighten the drain screw
securely.
5. Place a suitable gasoline container below the sediment cup, and use a funnel
to avoid spilling gasoline.
6. Remove the sediment cup (see page 71), and then turn the fuel valve lever to
the ON position.
7. Allow the gasoline to drain completely, and then install the sediment cup and
a new O-ring (see page 71).

Engine Oil

Change the engine oil (see page 66).

Engine Cylinder

1. Remove the spark plug, and pour a teaspoon (5 cc) of clean engine oil into
the cylinder. Crank the engine several revolutions to distribute the oil, then
reinstall the spark plug.
2. Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the piston is
coming up on its compression stroke, and both the intake and exhaust valves
are closed. Storing the engine in this position will help to protect it from
internal corrosion.

Battery

Charge the battery before storing the generator (see page 74).
