‹ 3.7.4 OVERSPEED

This feature protects the generator from damage by shutting it down if it happens to run faster than the preset limit. This protection also prevents the gen- erator from supplying an output that could poten- tially damage appliances connected to the generator circuit. Contact the nearest Authorized Dealer if this failure occurs.

2.Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.

3.Install the dipstick; then, remove it again. The oil level should be at the dipstick “Full” mark. If nec- essary, add oil to the “Full” mark only. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE “FULL” MARK.

Never operate the engine with the oil level below the “Add” mark on the dipstick. Doing this could damage the engine.

4.Install the dipstick.

5.Reset the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its origi- nal position.

4.1FUSE

The generator panel’s 15 amp fuse (Figure 4.1) pro- tects the DC control circuit against overload. The fuse is wired in series with the battery output lead to the panel. If the fuse element has melted open, the engine cannot crank or start. Replace the fuse using only an identical 15-amp replacement.

The generator panel’s 5 amp fuse protects the battery charge circuit against overload. If the fuse element has melted open, battery charging will not be possible. Replace the fuse using only an identical 5 amp replace- ment. To remove fuse, push cap down and rotate coun- terclockwise.
