7. Stopping Your Generator Set
(1)
Set the AC breaker to “OFF”
(2)
Pull out the plug of an electric appliance from the receptacle
(3)
Move the engine speed lever to low speed, and run the engine for about 3 minutes with no
load.

Return the engine speed lever to the “STOP” position
(5)
In electric-start models, return the starter key to the “OFF” position
(6)
Set the fuel chock lever to “S”(closed) position
(7)
Slowly pull out the recoil handle until pressure is felt (that is, to the point in the compression
stroke where the intake and exhaust valves are closed), and leave the handle in this
position this prevents rust from forming while the engine is not in use.

speed lever is placed at “STOP” position, stop
the engine either by closing the fuel cock(“S”
position) or by loosening the nut of the high
pressure fuel pipe on the pump side.
CAUTION
When stopping the engine, reduce the load slowly. Do not stop the engine suddenly since
it may cause the temperature to rise abnormally.
Do not stop the engine with the decompression lever.
