STOPPING THE GENERATOR
Normal Operation
During normal operation, use the following steps to
stop your generator:
1. Remove any connected loads from the control
panel receptacles.
2. Allow the generator to run at “no load” to reduce
and stabilize engine and alternator temperatures.
3. Position the engine control switch to STOP or if you
plan to store the generator after use, turn the fuel
shutoff valve to the OFF position and allow the fuel
to be consumed from the carburetor. (see figure 13)
During an Emergency
If there is an emergency and the generator must be
stopped quickly, position the engine control switch to
the STOP position immediately.
WARNING
Internal pressure can build in the
engine crankcase while the engine
is running. Removing the oil fill plug/
dipstick while the engine is hot can
cause extremely hot oil to spray out
of the crankcase and can severely
burn skin. Allow engine oil to cool for
several minutes before removing the
oil fill plug/dipstick.
Always perform maintenance in a well-
ventilated area. Gasoline fuel and fuel
vapors are extremely flammable and
can ignite under certain conditions.
WARNING
Avoid accidentally starting the
generator during maintenance by
removing the spark plug boot from
the spark plug. For electric start
generators, also disconnect the
battery cables from the battery
(disconnect the black negative (-)
cable first) and place the cables away
from the battery posts to avoid arcing.
Allow hot components to cool to
the touch prior to performing any
maintenance procedure.
