IMPORTANT: Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload
individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against
overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage
rating of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and
electrical output to that receptacle is lost. Read "Don't Overload the
Generator" carefully.

2.9 STOPPING THE ENGINE
• Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from generator
panel receptacles. Never start or stop the engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned on.
• Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
• Move Run/Stop switch to OFF position.
• Close fuel valve.
2.10 LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN SYSTEM
The engine is equipped with a low oil level sensor that shuts down
the engine automatically when the oil level drops below a specified
level. If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has
enough gasoline, check engine oil level.
2.10.1 SENSING LOW OIL LEVEL
If the system senses a low oil level during operation, the engine
shuts down. The engine will not run until the oil has been refilled
to the proper level.
