2.8 STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. 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.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Move the ON/OFF switch to OFF position.
4. Close fuel valve.

2.9 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 cylinder has
sufficient fuel, check engine oil level.

2.9.1 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.

3.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Follow the calendar intervals. More frequent service is required
when operating in adverse conditions noted below.
