Low Oil Shutdown
If the engine oil drops below a preset level, an
oil switch will stop the engine. Check oil level
with dipstick.
If oil level is between LOW and HIGH mark on
dipstick:
1.DO NOT try to restart the engine.
2.Contact an Authorized FIRMAN Service Dealer.
3.DO NOT operate engine until oil level is
corrected.
If oil level is below LOW mark on dipstick:
1.Add oil to bring level to HIGH mark.
2.Restart engine and if the engine stops again
a low oil condition may still exist. DO NOT try
to restart the engine.
3.Contact an Authorized FIRMAN Service Dealer.
4.DO NOT operate engine until oil level is
corrected.
NOTE:
Observing frost on LPG
is common during operation and normally is not
an indication of a problem. As LPG vaporizes and
travels from the tank to the generator engine it
expands. The amount of frost that forms can be
affected by the size of the cylinder, the amount
of fuel being used, the humidity of the air and other
operating conditions. In unusual situations this
frost may eventually restrict the flow of LPG gas
to the generator resulting in deteriorating
performance. For example, if the tank temperature
is reduced to a very low level then the rate at which
the LPG vaporizes is also reduced and may not
provide sufficient fuel flow to the engine. This is
not an indication of a problem with the generator
but only a problem with the flow of gas from the
LPG cylinder. If generator performance seems
to be deteriorating at the same time that ice
formation is observed on tank valve, hose or
regulator then some actions may be taken to
eliminate this symptom. In these rare situations
it can be helpful to reduce or eliminate the cold
fuel system effects by doing one of the following:
•
Exchanging fuel tanks to allow the first tank
to warm up, repeating as necessary
•
Placing the LPG cylinder at the end of the
generator near the handle, where engine fan
air flows out from the generator. This air is
slightly heated by flowing over the engine.

DANGER
DO NOT PLACE THE LPG CYLINDER IN THE PATH
OF MUFFLER OUTLET.
•
The LPG cylinder can be temporarily warmed
by pouring warm water over the top of the
cylinder.
Do Not Overload Generator
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated
wattage capacity can result in damage to the
generator and to connected electrical devices.
To prolong the life of your generator and
attached devices, follow these steps to add
electrical load:
1. Start the generator with no electrical load
attached.
2. Allow the engine to run for several minutes
to stabilize.
3. Plug in and turn on the first item. It is best to
attach the item with the largest load first.
4. Allow the engine to stabilize.
5. Plug in and turn on the next item.
6. Allow the engine to stabilize.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each additional item.
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.
