Sorry to be asking such a dumb question but I just can't find any info. Should my engine be running when I go to polarize my generator?

I do not know if you can polarize with the engine running but I know you can polarize with the engine off. I have always polarized with the engine off (the ignition switch can also be off).

The manuals aren't very clear about this, but I wouldn't think that you would not want the engine running when you do this. I think the idea is to polarize it before you run it to prevent damage from not being polarized.
