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 53) in the “LOW” (down) position.

Figure 53. 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 54) to the

OFF/RESET position.

Emergency Shutdown Procedure

1.To stop the engine in the event of an emergency, PUSH the emergency stop button (Figure 55) inward. This button is located on the engine operating panel, see Figure 5.
