2.12 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
5 psi. 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. If the engine
shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline, check
engine oil level.
2.12.1 RESTARTING
If trying to restart the engine within 10 seconds after it shuts
down, the engine may NOT start. The system needs five (5) to 10
seconds to reset.
If the engine is restarted after such a shutdown and the low oil
pressure has not been corrected, the engine will run for about 10
seconds as described above and then stop.

2.13 CHARGING THE BATTERY

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
corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause
severe burns. If spill occurs flush area with
clear water immediately.

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.
Use battery charger plug to keep the battery charged and ready
for use. Battery charging should be done in a dry location.
1. Plug charger into "Battery Charger Input" jack, located on the
control panel. Plug wall receptacle end of the battery charger
into a 120 Volt AC wall outlet.
2. Unplug battery charger from wall outlet and control panel jack
when generator is going to be in use.
Do not use the battery charger for more than 48 hours at one
charge.
NOTE:

3.1 PERFORMING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

It is important to perform service as specified in the Maintenance
Schedule for proper generator operation, and to ensure that the
generator complies with the applicable emission standards for the
duration of its useful life. Service and repairs may be performed by
any capable person or repair shop. Additionally, emissions critical
maintenance must be performed as scheduled in order for the
Emissions Warranty to be valid. Emissions critical maintenance
consists of servicing the air filter and spark plugs in accordance
with the Maintenance Schedule.

3.2 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Follow the calendar intervals. More frequent service is required
when operating in adverse conditions noted below.
Check Oil Level
Change Oil and Oil Filter‡

Clean Spark Arrestor Screen

Service Air Filter

Replace Spark Plug
‡ Change oil after first 30 hours of operation then every season.
* Change oil and oil filter every month when operating under heavy load or in
high temperatures. Clean or replace more often under dirty or dusty operating
conditions. Replace air filter parts if very dirty.
