NOTICE
The engine is equipped with a low oil shutdown
switch. If the oil level becomes low, the engine will
shut down and will not start until the oil is filled to the
proper level.
Be sure the engine has the proper oil level before
using. Failure to verify that the engine has the proper
oil level could result in engine damage.
Disconnect all loads from the inverter before starting.
Failure to verify all loads are disconnected prior to
starting the inverter could result in damage to the
connected appliances.
