5-4. Warning Indicators
This generator is equipped with the following warning indicators: BATTERY (insufficient
charging), OIL PRESS (engine oil pressure), WATER TEMP (coolant temperature), OVER
SPEED (engine overspeed) and SPILL CONTAINMENT (spill containment amount). When the
engine starts, all the lamps will light off. Moving the starter switch from STOP to START
causes the BATTERY and OIL PRESS warning indicator to illuminate, and all of the indicator
lights will go off as the engine starts. An indicator illuminates if a malfunction/fault occurs
during operation and the engine automatically stops depending on the fault type (except for
SPILL CONTAINMENT).
If the generator automatically stops, move the starter switch to STOP and restart the engine.
Check each illuminated warning indicator at the time of automatic stop, and inspect the failed
component.
(1) BATTERY (Insufficient Charging) Warning Indicator (Low Battery Voltage)
The BATTERY warning indicator illuminates and the engine automatically stops when
charging is not possible during operation. If this occurs, contact authorized distributor where
the generator was purchased.
< Note >
 This battery charging warning indicator cannot detect battery deterioration or insufficient
battery fluid. (Refer to section “
8-6. Checking the Battery ”.)
(2) OIL PRESS (Engine Oil Pressure) Warning Indicator (Low Oil Press.)
If the engine oil pressure drops below 14 psi (0.98 x 100 kPa) during operation, the OIL
PRESS warning indicator illuminates and the engine will be automatically stopped. If this
occurs, check the engine oil level and add engine oil until it reaches the maximum level.
WARNING : INJURY

Do not open the check door when the starter switch is in the AUTO or START
position. It will cause injury by rotating parts such as cooling fans and fan belt.
 Always turn the starter switch to the STOP position and stop the engine, then close
and lock OPERATION PANEL DOOR before checking or maintaining the engine or
any equipment.
CAUTION : BURNS
 Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after stopping the
engine as they are still extremely hot.
CAUTION: BURNS
 Always be sure to stop the engine and allow the engine to cool when performing
inspection or maintenance of engine oil. Opening the oil level indicator or oil filler cap
during operation will result in hot oil gushing out.
