- Page 13 3. PREPARATION FOR STARTING Low oil alarm system The oil alarm system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the 3.1 Diesel Fuel Specifications oil level in the crankcase fails below a safe limit, the Low oil alarm Diesel fuel should comply with the following specifications.
- Page 14 The engine may be damaged if operated with insufficient engine oil; it is also dangerous to overfill the oil level. RUN INDICATOR HOWIN 9600i generators are equipped with a low oil pressure In case of overload operation or short circuit: warning and shutdown system. This system stops the engine automatically when the oil pressure falls below a safe level and prevents catastrophic engine failure.
