3. Push (O). Pressing the red Engine Stop/Reset (O) button will result in the generator going into the shutdown

cycle and starting a 15 second shutdown timer called stopping. If the unit does not shut down within 15 sec-

onds, a stop fail alarm will be displayed on the LCD window.

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

Note: For extended storage time, disconnect the battery. See the engine operator’s manual for extended storage

requirements.

EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH

The unit is equipped with one emergency stop switch. For location of the emergency

stop switch, refer to Component Locations. The red button is clearly labeled

“EMERGENCY STOP.” The switch can be accessed and activated with all doors closed

and locked.

Activate the emergency stop switch by pushing it in until it locks down. This will trip

the main circuit breaker which will open the contact, disconnecting the load to the

connection lugs. This will also open the fuel circuit, shutting down the engine. The

emergency stop fault will be displayed on the control panel. The switch will remain

locked until it is pulled out.

CAUTION

Equipment Damage. The emergency stop switch is not to be used to power down the unit

under normal operating circumstances. Doing so will result in equipment damage. (000246)

IDLE SWITCH (MMG25I-45I ONLY)

The idle speed is 1000 rpm. The engine will start at idle speed and run at idle for 15 seconds no matter what position

the idle switch is in. After 15 seconds of running at idle, the unit will ramp up to 1800 rpm if the idle switch is off.

Otherwise the unit will continue to idle if the idle switch is on.

When the engine is at idle speed (1000 rpm), the voltage regulator will not function and the output voltage is dropped

out by the voltage regulator.

Note: Avoid long periods of idling as it may cause rapid wear to the engine.

Do not apply a load to the unit when the engine is running at idle speed or equipment damage

could result.

TOWING THE UNIT

Once the engine is shut down, follow these steps to prepare the unit for towing.

1. Use the tongue jack to raise or lower the trailer onto the hitch of the towing vehicle. Lock the hitch coupling

and attach the safety chains or cables to the vehicle. Release the jack locking pin and rotate the jack into the

travel position. Make sure the locking pin snaps into place.

Note: A film of grease on the coupler will extend coupler life and eliminate squeaking. Wipe the coupler clean and

apply fresh grease each time the unit is towed.

2. See Jack Maintenance for proper operation and maintenance of the jacks. For maintenance interval infor-

mation, see Maintenance.
