FEATURES

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).
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level (see page 40)
before troubleshooting in other areas.

Automatic Engine Stop Function

OIL ALERT FUNCTION
During operation, the engine will automatically stop if there is not enough oil in
the tank. Moreover, if the generator is on a slope, the oil alert function may
operate and stop the engine.
OVERSPEED DETECTION FUNCTION
To protect the engine from exceeding the engine load, the engine will
automatically stop if the engine speed becomes abnormal.
ABNORMAL VOLTAGE DETECTION FUNCTION
The engine will automatically stop during generation when it detects abnormal
voltage.
If the engine stops, make sure the oil level is correct. Wait a few minutes, and
then try to restart the engine. If the engine still won't start, take the generator to
your authorized servicing Honda Power Equipment dealer.
