Cool generator completely before transporting or storing. • Do not leave generator inside vehicle during high temperatures. This could cause the fuel to vaporize and possibly explode. • Do not overfill the tank before transporting. • Do not drive across rough terrain while trans- porting the generator as this may cause fuel leakage. Drain fuel from generator. • Do not operate generator while it is in a vehicle. When transporting the generator: 1. Press the engine control switch to the STOP position. 2. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position. 3. Turn the fuel cap vent to the OFF position (HW1000i model only). 4. Keep the generator level to prevent fuel spillage. NOTICE NEVER drop, strike, or place heavy objects on generator when transporting. Storing Generator NOTICE Follow service procedures for preparing generator for storage. Inadequate or improper care of generator can result in damage to generator components and will void limited warranty. Before storing the generator for extended period of time: • Be sure storage area is free of excessive humidity and dust. • Refer to Table 8 for recommended preparation procedures. Storage Time Recommended Preparation Less than 1 month No preparation required. 1 to 2 months Fill fuel tank with fresh gasoline and add gasoline conditioner*. More than 2 months See procedure below. TABLE 8. Recommended Service Procedures Based on Storage Time * Use gasoline conditioners formulated to extend storage life. Contact authorized generator dealer for conditioner recommendations. To prepare the generator for long-term storage:. DANGER Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. • NEVER smoke or allow flames or sparks near generator or where gasoline is stored. 1. Drain fuel into suitable container (see page 27). 2. Change engine oil (see page 19). 3. Remove spark plug (see page 25). 4. Add a tablespoon of clean engine oil into spark plug hole. 5. Place rag over spark plug hole and pull recoil starter handle slowly to turn engine and distribute oil. 6.
