The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and

below the threshold level.
The unit is equipped with a low oil shutdown.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.

NOTICE
We recommend using FIRMAN SAE 10W-30 API
SJ oil for best performance. Other high-quality
detergent oils (API SJ or higher) are acceptable.
Do not use special additives. Ambient temperature
determines the proper oil viscosity for the engine.
Use the chart to select the proper oil for the
outdoor temperature range expected.
Do not attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly filled with the recommended
type and amount of oil. Damage due to operation
with no oil will void your warranty.
