not overload individual panel receptacles. These outlets
are protected against overload with push-to-reset or tog-

breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and electrical
output to that receptacle is lost. Read "Generator Loads"
carefully.

The generator is shut off and the PowerDial is turned to the
STOP position. Turning the PowerDial counterclockwise, past
the RUN position, turns on the fuel again and permits use of the
electric starter. The PowerDial MUST be turned from the STOP
position to just past the RUN position to restart the fuel flow.
Do not turn far. The choke is not required if the engine is hot.

shuts down the engine automatically when the oil level
drops below a specified level. If the engine shuts down by
