Indicator Lights - Honda EB12D Owner's Manual

Indicator Lights
The EB12D generator is equipped with four indicator lights that monitor
three engine functions and the generator operation. All four lights come on
when the engine switch is turned from the OFF position to the ON posi-
tion. This allows the operator to check the bulbs of each indicator light.
The for lights will stay on for 4 seconds with the engine switch left in the
ON position. The lights will go out if the engine switch is turned to the
start position before 4 seconds.
Oil pressure Light
Lights when the engine oil level is low or the engine lubrication system is
not working properly. The engine will stop automatically when the light
comes on.
If this occurs:
l
Check the engine oil level, and add the correct engine oil if necessary
(see page 14).
l
To restart the engine, turn the engine switch to the OFF position and
start according to the starting procedure (see page 21 I.
l
If the oil pressure indicator light continues to light even though the
engine oil level is correct, stop operating the generator and see an
authorized Honda generator dealer.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE INDICATOR LIGHT OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT
Coolant Temperature Light
Lights when the coolant temperature becomes higher than normal. The
engine will stop automatically.
If this occurs:

would restrict air flow.

temperature indicator light. If the light remains on, allow the engine to
cool before attempting to start the engine.

though the coolant level is correct, discontinue operation and see an
authorized Honda generator dealer.
NoT'CE Check the coolant level before each use. The coolant
temperature indicator light may not function if there is insufficient coolant
in the radiator. 11
