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. If you are operating on gas move the fuel shut o

valve to OFF (see Figure 14). If you are operating on

propane shut o the tank valve (see Figure 15). Wait

for engine to shut o due to lack of fuel.

4. To stop generator remotely simply push the STOP

button on the wireless control. The generator will

run for an additional 15 seconds as it goes through

a cool down cycle before shutting o.

5. Position the engine control switch to STOP (see

Figure 16).

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 ll 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 ll plug/dipstick.

Always perform maintenance in a well-

ventilated area. Gasoline fuel and fuel

vapors are extremely ammable 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 rst) 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.
