Maintenance Schedule
CAUTION
WARNING
(3)
The purpose of the maintenance and adjustment schedule is to keep the generator in
the best operating condition.
Inspect or service as scheduled in the table below.
Shut off the engine before performing any maintenance. If
the engine must be run, make sure the area is well
ventilated. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas.
Use genuine our parts or their equivalent. The use of
replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality
may damage the generator.
2. Start the engine
The DC receptacle may be used while the AC power is
in use.
An overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit
protector. If this happens, wait a few minutes before
pushing in the circuit protector to resume operation.
Low oil alarm system
The low oil alarm system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an
insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase falls
below a safe limit, the low oil alarm system will automatically shut down the engine(the
engine switch will remain in the ON position).
If the low oil alarm system shuts down the engine, the low oil alarm indicator light(red)
will come on when you operate the starter, and the engine will not run. If this occurs,
add engine oil.
