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.

Set the engine switch to the "OFF" position.
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

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.
