Indicator light - Battery Power Saving Mode
This generator is equipped with an electronic
module which consumes battery power. When
the fuel selector switch is turned to the "GAS" or
"LPG" position, the indicator light will become
RED up to 4 minutes(before goes off).
Starting the engine successfully during these 4
minutes will turn the indicator light GREEN.
Starting the engine unsuccessfully or not attempting
to start the engine at all during these 4 minutes will
switch generator to Battery Power Saving Mode in
order to conserve and increase the life of battery.
MUST HAVE SOLID RED INDICATOR LIGHT TO
BE ABLE TO START THE GENERATOR. THE GENERATOR
CANNOT BE STARTED DURING BATTERY POWER
SAVING MODE UNLESS THE FUEL SELECTOR SWITCH
IS TURNED TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND THEN
TURNED BACK TO THE "GAS" OR "LPG" POSITION.
Unwanted Shutdown:
The indicator light will start FLASHING for 4
minutes in the event of any unwanted shutdown
such as low oil, running out of fuel(gasoline or LPG),
or any other unwanted shutdown. This is a reminder
that the generator is switching to Battery Power
Saving Mode. The generator should be checked
English
for any unwanted shutdown.
The generator cannot be started during or after
the 4 minutes of FLASHING mode unless the fuel
selector switch is turned to the "OFF" position and
then turned back to the "GAS" or "LPG" position.
This generator is equipped with an automatic
battery charging circuit and the battery will
receive a proper charge when the engine is
running to keep the battery charged.
