OILALERT
(RED)
The Oil Alert system isdesigned to prevent engine damage caused by
an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the
crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the OilAlert indicator comes on,
and the Oil Alert system automaticallywill stop the engine (the engine
switch will remain in the ON position).
If the engine stops or the Oil Alert indicator comes on when you turn
the engine switch to START or pull the startergrip, check the engine
oil level (see page ) before troubleshooting in otherareas.
Even when oil is added to the engine, the generatorwill not restart
until the Oil Alert indicator is reset. To reset the Oil Alert indicator, turn
the engine switch OFF, add the proper amountof oil (see page ),
and then turn the engine switch back ON.
The i-Monitor display will show ‘‘OIL’’ on the screen and the Oil Alert
indicator illuminates.
