Generator shut down
Yahoo Message Number: 144470
One of the things that Onan does not explain to well in there operators manual  is how to stop the generator. They say to press the STOP switch. They do not say when to release the stop switch.
 To stop  the gen you should only press and release the stop switch. DO NOT hold the stop  switch in and wait till the gen stops. By doing a press and release the computer  will take over and shut the gen down in the proper order. This makes a big  difference to the restarting of the gen. Try is next time PRESS-RELEASE and the gen will SLOWLLY start to shut down.
 A friend that has a Big Foot  camper with the same gen would some times turn my gen off after we made pop  corn. I noticed that the gen would be hard to start the next time. After I told  him about this he found that his gen was also easer to start when turned off in  the right way.
