This generator is equipped with the following warning indicators: BATTERY (battery charge),
OIL PRESS (engine oil pressure), WATER TEMP (coolant temperature), OVER SPEED
(engine overspeed), AIR FILTER (air cleaner clogging), SPILL CONTAINMENT (spill
containment amount), and ENGINE (engine malfunction). When you press the "Start" button to
start the engine, causes the BATTERY warning indicator to illuminates and ENGINE for
warning indicator to illuminates approximately 3 sec. When the engine starts, all the lamps will
