Engine

Perform the following steps to protect the cylinder, piston ring, etc. from corrosion.

  1. Remove the spark plug, pour about one tablespoon of SAE 10W-30 into the spark plug hole and reinstall the spark plug. Recoil start the engine by turning over several times (with 3-in-1 switch knob 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. Store the generator in a dry, well-ventilated
    place, with the cover placed over it.
