What type of oil do I need for my wgen6000?

Can this generator be kept outside all year long?
Susan D.
from New Jersey
April 25, 2018
Answer
It is not recommended to keep generators stored outside year-round. This is to prevent the generator from getting wet either from weather or condensation. The water will corrode metals and connections over time and will cause the generator to fail. If you must store it outside then I would highly suggest using a water proof cover and winterizing the unit before storage.
