Storage Precautions
-
Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any flame-operated appliance (i.e., furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer). Avoid areas containing a spark-producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated.
-
Be sure storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust.
-
Place generator on a level surface. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage.
-
With the engine and exhaust system cooled, cover the generator to prevent dust contamination. Do not use a plastic sheet as a dust cover. Nonporous covers trap moisture around the generator, promoting rust and corrosion.
-
Position fuel tank cap vent lever to OFF to reduce leakage possibilities.
