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 in 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.
DON'T OVERLOAD THE
GENERATOR
Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage
capacity can result in damage to the generator and to
connected electrical devices. Observe the following, to
prevent overloading the unit:
• Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to
be connected at one time. This total should NOT
be greater than the generator's wattage capacity.
• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light
bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances and
motors can usually be found on a data plate or
decal affixed to the device.
Sensing Low Pressure
If the system senses low oil pressure during operation,
the engine shuts down. As the system shuts down, the
low oil light comes ON. However, once the engine has •
stopped rotating, this light will go OFF.
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.
If the appliance, tool or motor does not give
wattage, multiply volts times ampere rating to
determine watts (volts x amps = watts).
Some electric motors, such as induction types,
require about three times more watts of power for
starting than for running. This surge of power lasts
only a few seconds when starting such motors.
Make sure you allow for this high starting wattage
when selecting electrical devices to connect to your
generator. First, figure the watts needed to start the
largest motor. Add to that figure the running watts
of all other connected loads.
The Wattage Reference Guide below is provided to
assist you in determining how many items your
generator can operate at one time.
