Stopping the Engine
1. Turn off and remove entire electrical loads.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
Let the generator run at no-load for two minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and

capacity can result in damage to the generator and to
