Oil Alert System; Auto Throttle System - Honda EM3800SX Owner's Manual

Oil Alert System

The Oil Alert system is designed 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 Oil Alert system will
automatically stop the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON
position). The Oil Alert system should not take the place of checking
the oil level before each use.
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level (see
page 27 ) before troubleshooting in other areas.

Auto Throttle System

The auto throttle system automatically reduces engine speed when all
loads are turned off or disconnected. When appliances are turned on
or reconnected, the engine returns to the rated speed.
Switch Position
AUTO: Recommended to minimize fuel consumption and further
reduce noise levels when no load is applied to the generator.
OFF: The auto throttle system does not operate.
Recommended to minimize warm-up time when the
generator is started and starting load with large start-up
power equipments.
