ENGINE SWITCH
Operating the generator in the FUEL OFF position before turning the engine
switch to the OFF position can reduce the fuel in the carburetor.
• When using the FUEL OFF position, the generator will continue to run for
several minutes until the fuel in the carburetor has been consumed, and
then the engine will stop.
• Turn the engine switch to the OFF position after the engine stops.
• After stopping the engine using the FUEL OFF position, restarting the
engine will require additional pulls on the recoil starter.
3. Allow the engine to cool, and then turn the fuel filler cap vent lever to the OFF
position.
