(2) OIL PRESS (engine oil pressure) Warning Indicator (Low Oil Press.)
CAUTION: BURNS
 Always be sure to stop the engine and allow the engine to cool when
performing inspection or maintenance of engine oil. Opening the oil gauge or
oil filler cap during operation will result in hot oil gushing out.
If the engine oil pressure drops below 0.98 x 100 kPa during operation, the OIL
PRESS and ENGINE warning indicators illuminates, and the engine automatically
stops. If this occurs, check the engine oil level and add engine oil until it reaches
the maximum level.
< Note >
 This oil pressure warning indicator cannot detect oil deterioration. Change the engine oil
periodically. (Ref."8-1. Checking Engine Oil")
(3) BATTERY (Insufficient Charging) Warning Indicator (Low Battery Voltage)
The BATTERY warning indicator illuminates when charging is not possible during
operation. If this occurs, contact the authorized distributor where the generator was
purchased.
< Note >
 This battery charging warning indicator cannot detect battery deterioration or
insufficient battery fluid. (Ref."8-6. Checking the Battery")
(4) AIR FILTER (Air Cleaner Clogging) Warning Indicator
The AIR FILTER warning indicator illuminates if the air cleaner element becomes
clogged during operation. If it is illuminated, immediately stop the engine and clean
or replace the air cleaner element. (Ref."10. Inspection/Maintenance (3) Air Filter
Element Cleaning/Replacement")
(5) WATER SEPARATOR (Water Separator Amount) Warning Indicator
The WATER SEPARATOR warning indicator lights up if the liquid stored in the
water separator exceeds approximately 80 ml during operation. If it lights up,
immediately stop the engine and drain the liquid stored in the water separator.
(Ref."10. Inspection/Maintenance (4) Draining Water from the Water

Engine Meters and Gauges
(1) Hour Meter
Displays the operating time. Use this to schedule periodic inspection. Be
careful as the hour meter operates when the starter switch is at RUN
regardless of whether the engine is running or stopped.
(2) Water Temperature Gauge
Water Temperature Gauge displays the temperature of engine coolant.
Normal temperature may vary depending on the environment, but it
should be between 75 to 90 °C.
< Note >
 If the temperature exceeds normal value, disconnect the load, idle the
engine at 700min
temperature range.
