What is the proper way to store my Troy-Bilt generator during the offseason?

Asked a year ago
To store your Troy-Bilt generator during the offseason, follow these proper steps: 1. Start by disconnecting the spark plug wire to ensure safety. 2. Drain all fuel from the tank and carburetor to prevent damage from fuel deterioration. Use a fuel stabilizer or run the engine until it's out of gas. 3. Change the oil while the engine is still warm, ensuring that the oil is at the recommended level. 4. Inspect the air filter and clean or replace it if necessary. 5. Store the generator in a clean and dry area, protected from dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. 6. Cover the generator with a suitable, breathable cover to shield it from dirt and debris. 7. Keep the generator in an upright position to prevent oil and fuel leakage. 8. Periodically check the generator throughout the offseason for any maintenance requirements or issues to address promptly.
