STOPPING THE ENGINE

Remove all welding and auxiliary power loads and allow the engine to run at low idle speed for a few minutes to cool the engine.

Stop the engine by placing the “Engine” switch in the “STOP” position.

A fuel shut off valve is not required on the GX-271 because the fuel tank is mounted below the engine.
