STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads. Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
2. Let the generator run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures
of the engine and generator.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
4. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the engine. This usually takes a few
minutes.
5. Press the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
6. Press the battery switch to the “OFF” position.
Important: Always ensure that the fuel valve and the engine switch are in the “OFF”
position when the engine is not in use.
! NOTE: If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2)
weeks or longer, please see the Storage section for proper
engine and fuel storage.

POWER METER AND FUEL LIFE METER
The power and fuel life meter are located on the front of the operator’s panel and shown
as Item #3 on page 5.
The meter is divided into two separate displays. The LCD display on top shows the
voltage [U], frequency [H], running time [R], total time, and remaining fuel run time [F].
Each parameter is shown for several seconds and then automatically cycles through in
the order listed.
The LED display on bottom shows the output power being producing based on the
electrical load connected to the generator. As the output increases, more LED lights are
shown until the generator is overloaded at which time a red LED light will appear. DO
NOT OVERLOAD GENERATOR – see page 11. The LED display also shows the time the
generator will run based on the current output power and the remaining fuel level. As the
fuel decreases, fewer lights are shown until there is approximately 10% fuel remaining
at which time an orange light will appear. This indicates that the fuel tank needs to be
refilled shortly or will run out. The output power will be displayed at all times except when
the remaining fuel run time is shown on the LCD at which time the remaining fuel run time
is displayed on the LED.
