General Recommendations

Regular maintenance will improve performance and 

extend the life of the outdoor generator. See any Briggs 

& Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for maintenance 

and service. Installation and major repair work should 

only be performed by specifically trained personnel.

All service and adjustments should be made at least 

once each season. A new spark plug and clean air filter 

assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine 

run better and last longer. Follow requirements in 

Maintenance Schedule

.

WARNING!  

 To ensure machine safety, use 

only original spare parts from the manufacturer 

or approved by the manufacturer. Should you 

have questions about replacing components on your 

generator, please visit our website at

CAUTION   

Excessive high or low operating 

speeds could result in minor injury. Do not tamper 

with governor spring, links or other parts to change 

speed. Do not modify generator in any way.

Storage

If storing the unit for more than 30 days, use the following 

guidelines to prepare it for storage.

Long Term Storage Instructions

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale 

fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel 

system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel 

fresh, use Briggs & Stratton® Advanced Formula Fuel 

Treatment & Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs & 

Stratton genuine service parts are sold.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a 

fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the 

engine outdoors for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer 

throughout the fuel system before storage.

If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel 

stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. 

Run the engine outdoors until it stops from lack of fuel. 

The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is 

recommended to maintain freshness.

WARNING!

   Fuel and its vapors are 

extremely flammable and explosive 

which could cause burns, fire or 

explosion resulting in death or serious injury. When 

storing fuel or equipment with fuel in tank, store away 

from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers or 

other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition 

source because they could ignite fuel vapors. When 

draining fuel, turn generator engine off and let it cool at 

least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap 

slowly to relieve pressure in tank. Drain fuel tank 

outdoors. Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot 

lights, heat, and other ignition sources. Check fuel lines, 

tank, cap and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. 

Replace if necessary. 

Other Storage Tips

  1.  Clean the generator as outlined in 

Cleaning

.

  2.  Plug charger into battery charger jack and a 230 Volt 

AC wall receptacle. 

NOTICE

   The charger will not overcharge the battery when 

plugged in for an extended period of time. 

WARNING!

   Storage covers could cause a fire 

resulting in death or serious injury. Do not place 

a storage cover over a hot generator.Let 

equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the 

cover on the equipment.
