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 falls
below a safe limit, the oil alert system will automatically shut down the engine (the
engine control switch (5) will remain in the RUN position).
If the oil alert system shuts down the engine, the Oil alert indicator LED (red) (12)
will come on when you operate the starter, and the engine will not run. If this
occurs, add engine oil.
Overload indicator
In the event of an overload or fault in a connected appliance, the Overload
indicator LED (red) (10) will illuminate. The overload system will need to be reset
if this occurs. The overload system prevents the generator from delivering power,
however the engine will continue to run.
Substantial overloading that continuously lights the overload indicator LED (red)
(10) may damage the generator. Marginal overloading that temporarily lights the
overload indicator LED (red) (10) may shorten the service life of the generator.
Stop the engine if the overload indicator LED (10) illuminates and investigate the
overload source.
To reset turn the generator off and restart.
Output indicator
The output indicator LED (green) (11) illuminates when power is available to
outputs.
Overload reset
An overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit breaker (15) (OFF position) when
the controls sense a predetermined overload condition. The inverter engine will
continue to run, but there will not be any electrical output.
If this happens,
1.
Turn off all devices and unplug them from the inverter.
2.
Determine the wattage required from the devices being powered by the
inverter. Make sure the wattage required does not exceed the maximum
output of the inverter.
3.
Press in (ON position) the DC circuit breaker reset (15).
4.
Plug the devices in to the inverter.
5.
Turn on the devices as needed.
