areas on the dipstick. The unit is equipped with a sensor
which will automatically shut off the engine if the lubricant
level falls below a safe limit.

generator to be grounded to an
approved earth ground.

on all sides of this product, including overhead. Allow a mini-
mum of 30 minutes of “cool down” time before storage. Heat
created by muffler and exhaust gases could be hot enough
to cause serious burns and/or ignite combustible objects.
