Stopping the Engine

•Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel receptacles. Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.

Operating Automatic Idle Control

This switch is designed to greatly improve fuel economy. When this switch is turned "On," the engine will only run at its normal high governed engine speed while an electrical load is connected. When the

electrical load is removed, the engine will run at a reduced speed. With the switch "Off," the engine always runs at the normal high engine speed. Always

have the switch Off when starting and stopping the engine.

Low Oil Pressure Shutdown System

The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure sensor that shuts down the engine automatically when the oil pressure drops below 6 psi. If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline, check engine oil level.

Initial Start-up

A delay built in the low oil shutdown system allows oil pressure to build during starting. The delay allows the engine to run for about 10 seconds before sensing oil pressure.

Sensing Low Pressure

If the system senses low oil pressure during operation, the engine shuts down. As the system shuts down, the low oil light comes ON. However, once the engine has stopped rotating, this light will go OFF.

Restarting

If you try to restart the engine within 10 seconds after it shuts down, the engine may NOT start. The system needs 5 to 10 seconds to reset.
