4. Fuel Filter Water Level Alarm Lamp - This lamp turns
on when the water level in the fuel filter rises too high.
Drain the water in the fuel filter strainer to correct the

5. Oil Pressure Gauge – Normal operation should be
approximately 28~71 psi (193~490 kPa). When starting
the generator the oil pressure may read a bit higher, but
after the engine warms up the oil pressure should return
to normal.
