How should I store my generator if I'm planning on storing my generator for over 30 days?Updated 3 months ago
Step 1: Move the main breaker to the off position.
Step 2: Allow the generator to run for 3-5 minutes.
Step 3: If running on propane or natural gas simply turn off the fuel source. If running on gasoline turn the generator off by moving the fuel valve to the "off" position and allowing the generator to stall out.
Step 4: Turn the key switch or rocker switch to the off position; or if your generator has a push button start, turn the battery switch to the off position.
Step 5: Fully drain the fuel tank or properly stabilize the fuel.
Step 6: Drain your carburetor bowl.
Step 7: Remove the spark plug.
Step 8: Place 2 tablespoons of oil into the spark plug hole, and pull the recoil, initiate the starting sequence by pressing the start button (the generator will not start) to lubricate the cylinder.
Step 9: Remove battery and place on separate trickle charger.
Step 10: Store the generator. Please note do not obstruct any ventilation openings & keep the generator in a cool dry area.
