Oil Alert System; Stopping The Engine; High Altitude Operation - Honda ECM2800 Owner's Manual

OIL ALERT SYSTEM

The oil alert system is designed to prevent any risk of damage to the engine caused by
insufficient oil in the oil pan. As soon as the oil level drops below the safe limit, the oil alert
system automatically shuts down the engine (the engine switch remains in the "ON" position).
Use of the starter will not restart the engine until the oil level has been topped up.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

At high altitude, the carburettor air/petrol mixture is very rich, causing a drop in engine
performance and an increase in fuel consumption.
When using the generating set at an altitude of over 1800 metres above sea level, a smaller
diameter jet needs to be fitted to the carburettor and the pilot screw adjusted. This must be
carried out by your Honda dealer.
In spite of a proper adjustment to the fuel feed system, engine power will still decrease by
3.5 % for every 300 metre increase in altitude.
CAUTION :
• The generating set performance will also suffer when used at an altitude below that for
which the fuel feed system has been adjusted; too weak a petrol/air mixture will result in
the engine overheating and possibly suffering serious damage.
