GROUND TERMINAL
The generator ground terminal is connected to the frame of the
generator, the metal non-current-carrying parts of the generator, and
the ground terminals of each receptacle.
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.
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level (see
page
) before troubleshooting in other areas.
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).
