Stopping the Engine

1. Pull the "STOP" knob out and hold it out until the
engine stops completely.
At the end of each day's welding, check the crankcase
oil level to minimize moisture condensation in the
tank. Also, running out of fuel tends to draw dirt into
the fuel system.
When hauling the welder between job sites, close the
fuel valve on the water separator.
