TRANSPORT & STORAGE
TRANSPORTING YOUR GENERATOR
1. After using the generator, and before transporting it in a truck
bed, check that the fuel cap is screwed on (clockwise) tightly, that the fuel cap vent is closed and that the fuel valve is o. Never transport inside an enclosed space within a vehicle. Fuel or fuel vapors may ignite causing serious injury or death.
2. If fuel is present in the fuel tank, transport in an open vehicle
in an upright position.
3. If an enclosed vehicle must be used, allow generator to cool
completely and then remove fuel into an approved red fuel container. DO NOT siphon by mouth.
4. Wipe away any spilled fuel and allow to dry.
5. Run engine to use up the fuel in the carburetor and fuel tank.
Always run engine in a well ventilated area.
6. Fuel cap should be screwed down tightly, fuel cap vent closed
and fuel valve o before transporting your generator in a vehicle.
LONGTERM STORAGE
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essen­tial fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during long-term storage. It is recommended to use a mini­mum 87 octane gasoline with NO ethanol content due to indi­cation that blended fuels can attract moisture and damage the an engine during storage. If your generator will not be used for more than one month, prepare it for long-term storage.
Steps for Long-Term Storage
1. Allow generator to cool completely and then remove all of
the fuel from the fuel tank into an approved fuel container. Discard appropriately.
2. Start and run engine to use up the fuel in the carburetor and
fuel tank. Be sure to close the fuel valve once complete.
3. After the engine cools down, drain oil from crankcase. Rell
with recommended grade.
4. Remove spark plug. Pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of engine
oil into the cylinder (the spark plug location). Cover spark plug hole with rag. Pull the starting rope several times to coat the cylinder wall with engine oil.
5. Install and tighten the spark plug.
6. Clean the generator outer surfaces. Check that cooling air
slots and openings on generator are open and unobstructed.
7. Store the unit in a clean, dry place.
NOTE: Do not store gasoline from one season to another. If possible, store the unit indoors and cover it to give protec­tion from dust and dirt.

However, Ardisam cannot deny warranty solely because of the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the completion of all scheduled mainte­nance.
As the SORE purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that Ardisam may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibility if your SORE or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or modications, or the use of coun­terfeit and/or “grey market” parts not made, supplied or approved by Ardisam.
You are responsible for presenting your SORE to an Ardisam Autho­rized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a problem occurs. The war­ranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility. To locate the Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility nearest you, call our free number:

IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty statement explains your rights and
obligations under the Emission Control System Warranty (ECS War­ranty), which is provided to you by Ardisam pursuant to federal law. See also the Ardisam “Product Warranty” (non-emission warranties), which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet or located in addi­tional materials accompanying this product. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is any conict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the Ardisam
Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where the Ardisam Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Ardisam Warranty describe important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.
Warranty service can be performed only by an Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty service, evi­dence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner. Ardisam will not be responsible for any and/or all damages or losses incurred while the engine is being transported/ shipped for inspection or warranty repairs.
