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 11).
Note: Operate generator on a level surface. If not level, the oil may flow away from the oil level sensing device. This will cause the oil alert system to shut down engine.
See engine owner’s manual for more information.
