ENGINE

Perform the following steps to protect the cylinder, pis-

ton ring, etc. from corrosion.

1. Remove the spark plug, pour about one table-

spoon of SAE 10W-30 or 20W-40 motor oil into

the spark plug hole and reinstall the spark plug.

Recoil start the engine by turning over several

times (with ignition off) to coat the cylinder walls

with oil.

2. Pull the recoil starter until you feel compression.

Then stop pulling. (This prevents the cylinder and

valves from rusting).

3. Clean exterior of the generator and apply a rust

inhibitor.

4. Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated place,

with the cover placed over it.

5. The generator must remain in a vertical position

when stored, carried or operated.
