release the engine control switch. Let the
generator sit idle for 15 seconds and then
repeat step 5. If the cranking speed drops
after each unsuccessful attempt, then the

STOPPING THE GENERATOR

Normal Operation

During normal operation, use the following steps to stop
your generator:
1. Remove any connected loads from the control
panel receptacles.
2. Allow the generator to run at "no load" to reduce
and stabilize engine and alternator temperatures.
3. Turn the engine control switch to the OFF position.
4. Turn the fuel shutoff valve to the OFF position.

During an Emergency

If there is an emergency and the generator must be
stopped quickly, push the engine control switch to the
OFF position immediately.
