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.

12VOLTBATTERY

• 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.
