Low Oil Indicator Light
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 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.
Output and Overload Indicator
In normal operation, the green output indicator light (READY TO USE)
will remain on.
If the generator is overloaded (producing more than 2800W) or a
connected appliance has short-circuited, the output indicator light will
turn off and the overload indicator light will turn on.
Power Switch
The three-way power switch starts and stops the unit.
START: Starts the engine using the electric start system.
ON: Switch must be in this position to recoil or remote start.
STOP: Stops the engine.
Reset Button
Use the RESET button in the case of a sudden engine shutdown
resulting from prolonged engine overload.
Disconnect all electrical appliances and then press and hold the reset
button for 1 second, this will reset the engine. After resetting, if the
overload indicator light has turned off and the output indicator light has
turned back on, reconnect the electrical appliances. Otherwise, stop the
engine by turning the power switch to STOP, and check the generator.
The RESET button is available a maximum of 5 times for every full start
of the generator. Shut down the generator and restart using the power
switch to refresh the start times.
If the generator is running normally, the RESET button will have no
effect.
USB Ports (If Equipped)
A total of 3.1A is available at 5.0V. A single port can draw the full 3.1A or
it will be distributed as needed. For example, a 1A device will only draw
1A.
