STORAGE

If you are going to store your generator for more than 30

days, use the following information as a guide to

prepare the generator for storage.

Never store generator with fuel in the tank indoors

or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where

fumes can reach an open flame, spark or pilot light

as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or

other gas appliances.

Engine Preparation

1. Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank to minimize the

formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.

2. Run engine at least 5 minutes after adding stabi-

lizer to allow it to enter the fuel system.

3. Next shut off engine.

4. Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the

spark plug.

5. Add one teaspoon of oil through the spark plug

hole.

6. Place rag over spark plug hole and pull the recoil a

few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.

7. Replace the spark plug, but do not connect the

spark plug wire.

NOTE: If a fuel stabilizer is not used, all gasoline

must be drained from the tank and carburetor to

prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and

causing possible malfunction of the engine.

Generator

• Clean the generator as outlined in the Maintenance

Section on this manual.

• Check that cooling air slots and openings on

generator are open and unobstructed.

GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all

times. The generator should not be stored or operated

in environments that includes excessive moisture, dust

or any corrosive vapors. If these substances are on the

generator, clean with a cloth or soft bristle brush. Do

not use a garden hose or anything with water pressure

to clean the generator. Water may enter the cooling air

slots and could possibly damage the rotor, stator and

the internal windings of the generator head.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI receptacle)

MONTHLY: For maximum protection against electrical

shock the GFCI should be tested monthly.

To test:

1. Depress the TEST button. The RESET button

should extend. If the RESET button does not

extend, notify a Porter-Cable Authorized Service

Center.

2. To restore power, depress the RESET button firmly

into the GFCI unit until an audible click is heard. If

reset properly, the RESET button is flush with the

surface of the test button. When the button stays

in, the power is ON.
