Low Oil Shutdown

Your Craftsman generator engine is equipped with Low Oil Shutdown. Low Oil Shutdown is a safety device designed to protect your engine from damage in the event the oil level in the crankcase is low.

If while the engine is running, the oil gets low, it will automatically shut itself down and will not restart until the oil is added. If the oil is low before start-up, the genera- tor will not start until oil is added.

NOTE: The Low Oil Shutdown mechanism is very sensi- tive. You must fill the engine to the full mark on the dipstick to inactivate this safety device.

Gasoline

Your generator engine is 4 cycle. Use unleaded fuel only. Never mix oil with gasoline.

CAUTION: Never fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below the bottom of the filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment before starting engine.

WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.

Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a mini- mum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. If unleaded fuel is not available, leaded fuel may be used.
