GENERATOR SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURES

WARNING

NEVER stop the engine suddenly except in an emergency.

NORMAL SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

To shutdown the generator, use the following procedure:

1.Place both the MAIN, GFCI and LOAD circuit breakers as shown in Figure 35 to the OFF position.

2.Place the engine speed switch (Figure 54) in the “LOW” (down) position.

Figure 54. Engine Speed Switch (Low)

3.Let the engine cool by running it at low speed for 3-5 minutes with no load applied.

4.Place the MPEC Control Switch (Figure 55) to the OFF/RESET position.

Figure 55. MPEC Control Switch (Off/Reset)

5.Verify that all the status LEDs on the MPEC display are OFF (not lit).

6.Place the battery ON/OFF switch (Figure 56) in the OFF position.

Figure 56. Battery ON/OFF Switch (OFF)

7.Remove all loads from the generator.

8.Inspect entire generator for any damage or loosening of components that may have occurred during operation.

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

1.To stop the engine in the event of an emergency, PUSH the emergency stop button (Figure 57) inward. This button is located on the engine operating panel, reference Figure 5.
