2.11 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 pull the starter rope and the engine will not run. If this occurs add enough of the approved engine oil to
raise the level to the top line on the dipstick.
2.12 Economy Switch
Turning the Economy switch ON economizes fuel consumption and noise while in operation. Engine speed
is kept at idle automatically when the electrical load is disconnected and returns to the proper speed to
match the power of the electrical load when the load is reconnected.
Turning the Economy switch OFF disables the economy system. Engine runs at the rated load (RPM).
•
The economy system does not operate effectively if the equipment requires rapid on-off cycling of power.
•
When high electrical loads are connected simultaneously, turn the economy switch to the OFF position to reduce
voltage fluctuation or shutdown.
•
In DC operation, turn the economy switch to the OFF position.
