Generator Features
OIL ALERT SYSTEM
The oil alert system protects the engine
from low oil damage. This system auto-
matically shuts down the engine and
prevents engine restarting if the oil level
falls too low.
NOTE: When this happens, the engine
switch remains in the ON position. The oil
alert system is wired into the ON/OFF
switch.
If this system shuts down the engine, the
engine will not start until you add oil. Add
oil to engine (see "Engine Oil", page 10).
NOTE: Operate generator on a level
surface. If not level, the oil may flow away
Engine exhaust
from this product
contains chemicals known, in certain
quantities, to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
Guard against
burns. Hot engine
parts can cause severe injury. Use
caution and remain alert when using
generator.
• Keep children and animals away
from generator while it is running or
hot.
• Keep all covers and shields in place.
Keep them tightly secured.
• The muffler becomes very hot during
operation. The muffler remains hot
for a while after shutdown. Do not
touch muffler while it is hot. Do not
let muffler touch anything flam-
mable. Let engine cool before
transporting or storing.
Have standby
installation to
home or building performed by a
licensed electrician. Do not let anyone
else wire into a utility circuit. Personal
injury, equipment damage, or damage
to home could occur.
Never connect
generator to any
existing electrical circuits. The genera-
tor output will back-feed into the
utility power line. This may electrocute
a power company line repair person.
Also, if generator is powering electri-
cal circuits, the chance of an electrical
fire exists.
Battery gives off
explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flames, and cigarettes
away. Do not remove or install battery
cables when engine is cranking or
running. Only service or use battery in
a well-vented area.
