the overload or broken. That will shorten the life of the engine. You should avoid it.
4.4.2Abnormal noise or shock
According to the structure of the enegine
speed the resonance will result in shock and abnormal noise, don't run the
engine at the rotation speed, otherwise the enegine will be damaged.
4.4.3Alarm lamp
If the alarm lamp is light, just cut the power output switch, remove the load, then
reduce the rotation speed, and stop the engine and check it.
4.4.4 Gas leakage, fuel leakage, water leakage and the bolt loose
Check the external parts, be sure that the enegine is no leakage, no loosen bolt.
4.4.5The oil level is too low.
You should check the oil level of oil sump. And add the oil before it drops to the
lowest limit
4.4.6The fuel level of the fuel tank is too low
Check the fuel level of the fuel tank, and add the oil before it drops to the lowest
limit.
When the engine is running, do not cut off the
NOTE
switch or make a short circuit. Otherwise it will
produce strong spark. Abnormal electric surge will
result in system fault.
4.5 Stop the engine
