Operating Instructions
OPERATION OF GENERATOR
If the RED Output Indicator Light illuminates, STOP the engine and determine the cause of overload
by:
• Checking the appliance(s) for proper operation, electrical shorts, and malfunctions. Also ensure
the generator has the ability to provide the required starting and running watts of the connected
appliance(s).
• Ensuring all appliances is in the "OFF" position upon starting the generator. Only start the connected
appliance(s) when the GREEN Output Indicator Light is illuminated and the generator is providing the
necessary power to run the connected appliance(s).
Before connecting or reconnecting an appliance to the generator, check that it is in good order, and
that its electrical rating does not exceed that of the generator.
LOW OIL ALARM SYSTEM:
This model is equipped with a Low Oil Alert System designed to avoid engine damage from
insufficient oil in the crankcase. The Low Oil Alarm System will stop the engine automatically before
the oil level in the crankcase drops below safe operating levels. This will cause the RED Output
Indicator Light to illuminate. Though the engine will stop running, the ignition switch will remain in the
"START" position. Turn to the "STOP" position.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR
Refer to Controls and Features section for diagram.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN

2. In order to stabilize internal equipment temperatures, allow the engine to run for 3- 5 minutes
under no load.

position and allow the unit to run until the fuel in the carburetor is used and the engine shuts
itself off.

6. Always transport the generator with the fuel valve in the "OFF" position. Failure to do so will
