7. Stopping Your Generator

Step I: Disconnect all electrical plugs from the generator outlets before turning

off the generator7

Step I1: Turn off the "AIR" switch on the generator.

Step II1: Set the speed level in the "run" position, operating the generator for

about three minutes with nothing plugged in. Note: Do Not stop the generator

without this step, as the operating temperature of the engine will increase thereby

damaging the unit.

Step IV: Depress the "stop" lever

Step V: If the unit has an electric starter, turn the key to the "off" position.

1. Move the fuel lever to the "S" position.

Step VI: Retract the recoil starter handle until you feel resistance. (At this point

both the intake and exhaust valves are closed). Leave the handle in the position

as it prevents damp air from entering the engine and thereby prevents rust from

forming.

Warning:

• Should the engine continue to operate when the speed lever is placed in

the "Stop" position, either turn the fuel valve to the "Close" position or

loosen the nut of the high pressure fuel pipe on the pump side of the

engine. If you do this, remember to tighten it again before attempting to

start the engine.

• Do not attempt to stop the engine with the decompression lever.

• Always make certain that all electrical plugs are removed from the

generator outlets before turning off your generator.
