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
OFF
(see
figure 13).
NOTE 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.
4. To stop generator remotely simply push the
STOP
button on the wireless control (see figure 14). The
generator will run for an additional 15 seconds as it
goes through a cool down cycle before shutting off.
5. Turn the fuel shutoff valve to the
OFF
position.
During an Emergency
If there is an emergency and the generator must be
stopped quickly, position the engine control switch to
the
OFF
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.
