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.
Air Conditioning Operation
When running in parallel (see section 8) the combination of an IG2000i model can
start and run most 13,500 BTU Air conditioners. An IG2000i models will start and run
most 15000 BTU units. For best results, the SMART throttle switches should be in
the off position. Bring the generators to normal operating temperatures before
applying the air conditioning load. Always allow a 2 minute wait period when
manually cycling an air conditioner off and on. A longer wait period may be required
under unusually hot weather conditions. Additionally, all other loads should be turned
off until the air conditioner has started and is performing normally. It is also important
to follow the air conditioner manufacturer's instructions for starting and restarting for
proper operation. Some air conditioner manufacturers offer a start capacitor or
rapid start kit as an extra cost option. The lack of a start capacitor can cause the air
conditioner to draw too high a starting current and overload the generators. Contact
your air conditioner dealer if you consistently have problems starting your air
conditioner with the generators in parallel.
