Low Oil Protection
The oil alert system is designed to avoid engine damage
from not enough oil in the crankcase. The oil alert system
will stop the engine automatically before the crankcase
1. Turn off and unplug all equipment to be plugged into
the generator.
2. Start the generator (see “Starting Generator” on
p12).
3. Plug in the appliance and monitor the overload
indicator light. If the overload indicator illuminates
longer than 4 seconds, STOP THE ENGINE
IMMEDIATELY. Do not restart generator until the
reason for the over-load or appliance short circuit is
corrected.

CAUTION
Substantial overloading that continuously lights the
overload indicator light may damage the generator.
Marginal overload-ing that temporarily lights the overload
indicator light may shorten the service life of the generator.
If appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes
sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn it OFF immediately.
Disconnect appliance and determine whether problem is
appliance, or if rated load capacity of generator has been
exceeded.

Oil alert indicator light only illuminates while generator is
running or while recoil is pulled.

High-Altitude Operation
At high altitudes, standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will
be excessively rich. Performance will decrease and fuel
consumption will increase.
High-altitude performance can be improved by installing
a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the carburetor and
then readjusting the pilot screws. If you always operate
the engine at altitudes higher than 5000 feet (1500
meters) above sea level, have an authorized generator
dealer per-
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower
will decrease approximately 3.5% for each 1000 foot
(300 meters) increase in altitude above sea level. The
effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this
if no car-
NOTICE
If engine jetted for high altitude is used at lower altitude,
lean air fuel mixture will reduce performance and may
over-heat and seriously damage the engine.
