DISCONNECTING ELECTRIC LOADS
Remove electrical loads one at a time. Remove voltage sensitive items first.
Voltage sensitive items include TVs, VCRs, and other home electronic items.
STOPPING ENGINE
Follow the steps below to stop engine.
1. Remove all electrical loads from generator (see Disconnecting Electrical
Loads, above). Remove electrical loads one at a time.
2. Let engine run for two or three minutes after removing electrical loads. This
lets engine cool slightly.
3. Push down engine stop lever (see Figure 21). This releases engine run lever
and stops engine. Do not stop engine with the decompression lever.
4. Turn the starter key to the OFF position.
5. Turn fuel valve lever off. Do this by moving valve lever to the “S” position
(see Figure 22).
6. Slowly pull starter rope until you feel strong resistance. Gently return starter
rope to engine. This action closes the intake and exhaust valves. This prevents
rust from forming while not using engine.
