Should shutdown occur, do not attempt to restart before correcting the cause as shown on the LCD Display screen. The following is a description of these automatic shutdown switches.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE/DAILY OPERATION BREAK-IN PRQCEDURE NOTE: After the first 20 hours of generator operation, check the maintenance schedule for the 20 -hour service check. After the generator has been started, check for proper operation. NOTE: Some unstable running may occur in a cold engine. This and then encourage a fast warm-up.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE WARNING: Never attempt perform any service while the engine is running. Wear the proper safety eqnipment such as goggles and gloves, and use the correct tools fo; each job. Disconnect the battery terminals when servicing any of the engine's DC electrical equipment. NOTE: Many of the following maintenance jobs are simple but others are more difficult and may require the expert knowledge of a service mechanic.
