Perform the following steps if the generator set is out of
service for three months or longer.
1. Drain the lubrication oil (while still warm) from the
crankcase and then refill with proper viscosity oil.
Run the generator set for a few minutes to
distribute the clean oil. Stop generator set.
2. Gasoline fueled engines: Add stabilizer to fuel or
drain the fuel from fuel tank to prevent accumulated
moisture with the fuel. Drain the carburetor bowl
(or run unit until empty). This step is done to
prevent the gasoline from becoming stale which
causes formation of gum. Use of a gas stabilizer for
gasoline-fueled generator sets is permitted in lieu
of draining the carburetor bowl. Add the correct
amount of gas stabilizer to the fuel and follow all
Storage Procedure
recommendations given by the gas stabilizer
manufacturer.
Gaseous-fueled engines: With the generator set
running, shut off gas supply. Run generator set
until set stops from lack of fuel.
3. Gasoline- and gaseous-fueled engines: Remove
the spark plugs. Pour approximately 1 tablespoon
of engine oil into each spark plug hole. Crank the
engine two or three revolutions to lubricate the
cylinders. Reinstall spark plugs.
4. Clean exterior surface of the generator set and
then spread a light film of oil over unpainted
metallic surfaces to prevent rust or corrosion.
