LOW OIL PRESSURE
SHUTDOWN
SYSTEM
The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure sensor
that shuts down the engine automatically when the oil
pressure drops below 6 psi. If the engine shuts down
by itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline, check
engine oil level.
Initial Start-up
A delay built into the low oil shutdown system allows
oil pressure to build during starting. The delay allows
the engine to run for about 10 seconds before sensing
oil pressure.
Sensing
Low Pressure
If the system senses low oil pressure during operation,
the engine shuts down.
Restarting
If you try to restart the engine within 10 seconds after
it shuts down, the engine may NOT start. The system
needs 5 to 10 seconds to reset.
If you do restart the engine after such a shutdown and
have not corrected the low oil pressure, the engine
runs for about 10 seconds as described above and
then stops.
CHARGING
A BATTERY
DANGER!
Storage batteries give off explosive
hydrogen gas while recharging. An explosive
mixture will remain around the battery for a
long time after it has been charged. The
slightest spark can ignite the hydrogen and
cause an explosion. Such an explosion can
shatter the battery and cause blindness or
other serious injury.
DANGER!
Do Not permit smoking, open
flame, sparks or any other source of heat
around a battery. Wear protective goggles,
rubber apron and rubber gloves when working
around a battery. Battery electrolyte fluid is an
extremely caustic sulfuric acid solution that can
cause severe burns. If spill occurs, flush area
with clear water immediately.
Your generator has the capability of recharging a
discharged 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage
battery. Do Not use the unit to charge any 6 Volt
batteries. Do Not use the unit to crank an engine
having a discharged battery.
To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:
• Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary,
add ONLY distilled water to cover separators in
battery cells. Do Not use tap water.
• If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure
they are installed and are tight.
• If necessary, clean battery terminals.
• Connect battery charge cable connector plug to
panel receptacle identified by the words
"12-VOLT D.C."
• Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle
to the positive
(+) battery terminal.

12 VOLT BATTERY
• Connect battery charge cable clamp with black
handle to the negative
(-) battery terminal.
• Start engine. Let the engine run while battery
recharges.
• When battery has charged, shut down engine.
NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery
state of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer
manufacturer's
instructions carefully. Generally, a
battery is considered to be at 100% state of charge
when specific gravity of its fluid (as measured by
hydrometer) is 1.260 or higher.
