SHUTDOWN
1. Disconnect the generator / unplug all electrical devices.
2. Turn the AC circuit breaker to the off "0" position (CSA models only).
3. Turn the generator switch to the off "0" position.
4. Turn the fuel switch to the off "0" position.
Note: To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the generator switch

CONTROL PANEL:
The generators are equipped with the following items:
WARNING: NEVER EXCEED THE RATING OF A RECEPTACLE.
THESE
RECEPTACLES
OVERLOADS BY RESETTING MAGNETIC TYPE CIRCUIT
BREAKERS. IF A CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPS, THE CAUSE
SHOULD BE DETERMINED AND CORRECTED PRIOR TO
CONTINUING USE.
DISPLAY
This generator is equipped with a display that can show the voltage,
frequency, total accumulated hours of operation, and current hours. Use
the toggle switch (1) to change the readout of the display to the desired
setting.
GENERATOR SWITCH
For pull starting the generator, turn the generator switch to the on posi-
tion "I" before starting the generator. For models with electric starting,
turn the generator switch to the start position " ". To turn off the genera-
tor, turn the generator switch to the off "0" position.
CHOKE
The choke is used to provide more fuel when starting a cold engine. If
the engine is cold, pull the choke knob out before starting the engine.
Once the engine starts, slowly push in the choke knob.
CO DETECTOR (SHUT OFF SYSTEM)
The (carbon monoxide) CO Detector monitors the accumulation of CO
gas while the generator is running and will shut off the engine if the lev-
els become dangerously high. The CO Detector on this generator is not
a substitute for an indoor CO alarm.
Whenever the CO Detector has shut off the engine there will be a light
on the control panel that indicates the reason. Read the CO Action Label
(shown above) for the next steps to take.
If the CO Detector light is flashing "red" you must leave the area imme-
diately and relocate to an open outdoor area. Ventilate the area thor-
oughly before occupying again. Ensure the generator is located in an
open outdoor area with the exhaust pointed away from occupied struc-
tures. If anyone experiences dizziness, headaches, nausea, or tiredness
get to fresh air immediately and seek medical attention.
If the CO Detector light is a constant "yellow" then a system fault has
occurred, or it is indicating that it has reached the end of its life. This
fault can only be diagnosed and repaired by an Authorized Service Pro-
vider.
The CO Detector monitors the accumulation of CO gas from all sources
in the area around the generator. If the CO Detector light is flashing "red"
this is not an error and safety measures must be taken immediately.
Note: Tampering with the CO Detector could result in hazardous
conditions and must be avoided.
