Stopping the Engine
• Remove all electrical loads connected to generator
panel receptacles. Never start or stop engine with
devices plugged in and turned on.
• Let engine run at no-load for 30 seconds to stabilize
the internal temperatures of engine and generator.
• Turn the key switch to the "Stop" position.
• Close the fuel shut-off valve
Stopping the Engine with the Fuel Valve
This procedure eliminates fuel from the carburetor.
Use this method to stop the generator if you plan to
store the generator over a long period. Fuel will clog
the internal passages of carburetor if allowed to
remain for an extended period.
• Unplug (or turn OFF) all electrical loads connected
to generator panel receptacles. Never start or stop
engine with devices
plugged
in and turned
on.
• Let engine run at no-load for 30 seconds to stabilize
the internal temperatures
of engine and generator.
• Close the fuel shut-off valve while the engine is
running and wait until the engine stops.
• Set the key switch to the "Stop" position after the
engine quits.
Applying
Electrical
Loads
• Let engine stabilize and warm up for about two
minutes after starting
• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt AC,
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. DO NOT
OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. Add up the rated
watts (or amps) of all loads to be connected at one
time. This total should not be greater than the rated
wattage/amperage
capacity of the generator. See
page 12, "Don't Overload the Generator" for details.
RECEPTACLES
This generator is equipped with the following
receptacles:
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacle
Each of these outlets is protected against overload by
20 Amp push-to-reset
type circuit breakers. Use each
outlet to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring 2400 (2.4 kW) watts at 20 Amps of
current (Figure 8).
