engine has started and is running steadily, the choke should be opened (disengaged) by turning the
lever as far as it will easily go clockwise (away from the air filter).
Ground Terminal:
The generator ground terminal is connected to the frame of the generator, the metal non-current-
carrying parts of the generator and the ground terminals of each receptacle.
DC Circuit Breaker:
The DC circuit breaker automatically shuts off the DC battery charging circuit when the DC
charging circuit is overloaded, when there is a problem with the battery or when the connections
between the battery and the generator are improper.
Oil Alert System:
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 can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert
system will automatically stop the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position). The
Oil Alert system should not take the place of checking the oil level before each use. If the engine
stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level before troubleshooting in other areas.
AC Circuit Breaker:
The AC circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant
overload of the generator at the receptacle. If the AC circuit breaker is switched OFF
automatically, check that the appliance is working properly and does not exceed the rated load
capacity of the circuit before switching the AC circuit breaker ON again. The AC circuit breaker
may be used to switch the generator power ON or OFF.
