AC Circuit Breakers
While the generator is running, the breakers should be in the ON position.
If the current has exceeded its limits the breaker will automatically pop
out to the OFF position. Reduce the electrical load on the generator and
push the button back to the ON position.
Battery Charging Port
When the generator will be stored for an extended period of time plug the
battery charger into a 120V outlet every two months to top up the battery
and prolong its life (Charger sold separately, included with BG11500E and
BG11500DE only).

Before using the ground terminal consult a qualified electrician,
electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction for local laws
and codes that apply to the intended use of the generator.

Low Oil Indicator Light
The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by
an insucient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the
crankcase reaches an unsafe limit, the oil alert system will automatically
shut down the engine (the power switch remains in the ON position).
If the oil alert system shuts down the engine, the low oil indicator light
(red) will turn on. Check the engine oil level.
