SHUTTING OFF THE GENERATOR
WARNING:
Allow the generator to cool down before touching areas that become hot during use.
OPTION 1: FUEL SHUT OFF (RECOMMENDED)
1. Turn off all electrical devices prior to unplugging them from
the generator. Unplugging running devices can cause damage
to the generator.
2. Allow generator to run at no load for a few minutes to stabi-
lize internal temperatures.
3. Turn the engine switch to the “OFF” position (Fig. 14 - 1).
4. Close the vacuum relief valve on the top of the fuel cap by
rotating it counterclockwise to the “OFF” position.
5. The engine will continue to run until the majority of the fuel
in the carburetor is consumed. The engine will then shut off
automatically. This helps prevent the carburetor from being
clogged by stale fuel, extending your generator’s lifespan.
CAUTION:
Unplugging running devices can cause damage to the generator. Never stop the engine
with electrical devices connected and running.
CAUTION:
Allowing gasoline to sit in the fuel tank for long periods of time can make it difficult to start
the generator in the future. Never store the generator for extended periods of time (over 2 months) with
fuel in the fuel tank. Refer to “STORING THE GENERATOR”.
