Disconnect load before stopping generator?
The topic says it all. This is in the rule book for several brands of generators. Its not in the book for my Yamaha, but Champion and Predator both mention it. So my question is... lets say you run...

On our onboard genny there were a couple of instances where my DW had turned off the genny while under heavy load, as well as started the Onan with a heavy load. Thankfully all was well after those episodes, I subsequently explained the reasoning why those actions can cause damage, although for the most part we always have some nominal load when turning the genny off or on.
After a decade of dutiful service from our Onan, which was overkill most of the time anyways, we decided to purchase a portable inverter genny that could run our RV AC unit while being fuel efficient and less noisy. We picked up a Champion inverter genny with remote start. When using the remote loads do not need to be removed, loads do need to be removed for electric or pull cord start up.
