FUEL GAUGE

OIL ALERT
INDICATOR

The fuel gauge is a mechanical device that measures the fuel level in
the tank. The red indicator in the window will reference the level in
relation to full or empty. To provide increased operating time, start
with a full tank before beginning operation. Check the fuel level with
the generator on a level surface. Always refuel with the engine OFF
and cool.

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 indicator comes
on and the Oil Alert system automatically will stop the engine (the
engine switch will remain in the ON position).
If the engine stops or the Oil Alert indicator comes on when you pull
the starter grip, check the engine oil level (see page

) before

troubleshooting in other areas.
