Low Oil Protection

Low Oil Protection
Low Oil Protection
The oil alert system is designed to avoid engine damage
from insufficient oil in the crankcase. The oil alert system
will stop the engine automatically before the crankcase oil
gets below the safety line. The engine will not restart until
the required amount of engine oil is added.
NOTE:
Oil alert indicator light only illuminates while generator is
running or while recoil is pulled.

Powering Appliances

NOTE:
In this manual, the term "appliance" refers to any electri-
cal device that can be connected to generator for power.
NOTICE
NEVER start generator with electrical appliances plugged in
and turned on.
WARNING
Faulty appliances and power cords can result in elec-
trical shock.
• Before attempting to power an appliance, be sure
generator has been properly grounded, and the
appliance and power cord are in good working order.
• NEVER use generator for any purpose other than its
intended use.
• NEVER parallel connect generators or lengthen the
exhaust pipe.
• NEVER connect generator directly to any household
receptacle using a power cord with male plugs at both
ends.

WARNING
Medical and Life Support Uses
• In case of emergency, call 911 immediately.
• NEVER use this product to power life support
devices or life support appliances.
• NEVER use this product to power medical devices
or medical appliances.
• Inform your electricity provider immediately if you
or anyone in your household depends on electrical
equipment to live.
• Inform your electrical provider immediately if a loss
of power would cause you or anyone in your
household to experience a medical emergency.
• Plan carefully: Before using the generator to power
appliances, take time to add power ratings (wattage)
of each appliance and verify that total wattage does
not exceed rated output of generator. Power rating
information can usually be found on an appliance's
product label, stamped inside, or on the back of the
appliance. See Table 2 for a listing of average appli-
ance wattage requirements.
• NEVER overload: Circuit breakers will stop the flow
of electricity between the generator and appliance if
the generator is overloaded. Check circuit breaker
for "tripped' position. Reduce the load on the recep-
tacle(s) and reset the breaker.
• Pay attention to appliance operation: If appliance
begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or
stops suddenly, turn it OFF immediately. Disconnect
the appliance and determine whether the problem is
the appliance, or if rated load capacity of the gener-
ator has been exceeded.
• Use suitable extension cords: If using an exten-
sion cord to connect appliances to the generator,
use only UL-listed, three-prong extension cords. Be
sure the extension cord is the proper size (wire-
gauge) to handle the electrical load that will be
plugged into it.
CAUTION
NEVER run power cords under carpet, rugs, or other materi-
als where heat might build up or cord damage may go unno-
ticed.
