CHOKE LEVER
The choke is used to provide proper starting mixture when the engine
is cold. It can be opened and closed by operating the choke lever
manually. Move the choke lever to the CLOSED position to enrich the
mixture for cold starting.
OUTPUT INDICATOR LIGHT
The output indicator light (green) is illuminated when the generator is
operating normally. It indicates that the generator is producing
electrical power at the sockets.
OVERLOAD INDICATOR LIGHT
If the generator is overloaded (in excess of 2,000 VA), or if there is a
short circuit in a connected appliance, the overload indicator light (red)
will go ON. The overload indicator light (red) will stay ON, and after
about four seconds, current to the connected appliance(s) will shut off,
and the output indicator light (green) will go OFF.
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 indicator light
comes on and the Oil Alert system automatically will stop the engine
(the engine switch will remain in the ON position).
If the engine stops or the Oil Alert indicator light comes on when
you pull the starter grip, check the engine oil level.
