Low Oil Level Shutdown System; Charging The Battery (Electric Start Units Only) - Generac GP Serie El Manual Del Propietario

Manual Start
The generator is equipped with a manual
recoil starter which may be used if the battery
is discharged.

ator or individual panel receptacles. These
outlets are overload protected with push-
to-reset circuit breakers. If amperage rat-
ing of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that
breaker opens and electrical output to that
receptacle is lost. Read
Limits carefully.
