STOPPING THE GENERATOR
To stop the generator:
1. Turn off, then unplug all connected electrical devices.
2. Allow the generator to run for several more minutes with no electrical devices connected. This
helps stabilize the temperature of the generator.
3. Turn the engine switch key to the "off" position. Remove the key.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the "off" position.
WARNING: Allow the generator to cool for several minutes before touching areas that
become hot during use.
CAUTION: Allowing gas to sit in the generator tank for long periods of time without use can
make it difficult to start the generator in the future. Never store generator for extended periods
of time with fuel in the tank.
CAUTION: Leaving the battery connected for long periods of time without using the generator
can cause the battery to drain. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery for storage.
After disconnecting the cable, cover the free end with an insulator such as electrical tape.
