present.
Shutting Down the Unit
Prior to shutting down the unit, check with personnel
using power supplied by the generator and let them know
that the power is going to be turned off. Verify the power
shut down will not create any hazards by accidentally
turning off equipment that needs to be kept on (pumps,
compressors, lights, etc.).

be displayed on the LCD window.

After the unit shuts down, move the Control Power
switch to OFF (O).
