This unit is equipped with a low oil pressure and high
coolant temperature automatic shutdown system. This
system automatically shuts off the fuel supply to stop the
engine if oil pressure drops too low, or the engine
exceeds normal operating temperature. Return the main
circuit breaker to STOP to reset the unit after the cause
of shutdown has been determined.

Storing the Unit

Disconnect the battery. See the engine manual for more
information.
