LOW OIL SENSOR
The unit is equipped with a low oil sensor. If the oil level
becomes lower than required, the sensor will activate a
warning device or stop the engine.
If generator shuts off and the oil level is within
specifications, check to see if generator is sitting at an angle
that forces oil to shift. Place on an even surface to correct this.
If engine fails to start, the oil level may not be sufficient to
deactivate low oil level switch. Make sure the sump is
completely full of oil.
FUEL
Fill the tank with clean, fresh unleaded automotive
gasoline. Regular grade gasoline may be used provided a high
octane rating is obtained (at least 85 pump octane). We
recommend always using a fuel stabilizer. A fuel stabilizer
will minimize the formulation of fuel gum deposits during
storage. The fuel stabilizer can be added to the gasoline in the
fuel tank, or into the gasoline in a storage container.
POSITIONING
•
Place the generator set on a flat and solid surface to prevent it
from sinking.
•
The surface should not be more than 17° from horizontal in any
direction for the engine to lubricate properly.
•
Keep fuel, oil or other explosives at a safe distance from the
generator set.
•
Select a site that is well ventilated and protected from the
weather.
•
Place the generator set safely away from people and animals.
