• Before connecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good & order, and
that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator.
• Be sure all equipment is turned off before plugging in the power cord.
• When an electric motor is started, both the overload indicator LED (red) (11) and
the output indicator light (green) (12) may go on simultaneously. This is normal if the
overload indicator LED (red) (11) goes off after about four seconds.
• If the overload indicator LED (red) stays on, contact customer service.
Oil alert indicator
• The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufcient
amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase falls below a safe
limit, the oil alert system will automatically shut down the engine (the engine switch will
remain in the ON position).
• If the oil alert system shuts down the engine, the oil alert
indicator LED (red) (13) will come on when you operate the
starter, and the engine will not run (Fig. 26). If this occurs,
add engine oil.
