Ground terminal
Before using the generator, carry out (or check each time) the connection of the earth terminal with a peg driven
into the ground. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector or local
agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
Oil alert system
The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase.
Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert system will automatically stop the engine (the engine
switch will remain in the ON position). The Oil Alert system should not take place of checking the oil level before each use.
If engine stops or not restart, check the engine oil level (see page 13) before troubleshooting in other areas.
