When the Overload Alarm light comes on and power generation stops, proceed
as follows:
1. Turn off any connected electric devices and stop the engine.
2. Reduce the total wattage of connected electric devices within the rated
output.
3. Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet and around the control unit. If
any blockages are found remove them.
4. After checking, restart the engine.
Note:
The Overload Alarm may come on for a few seconds when first
using electrical devices that require a large starting current, such as
a compressor, pump, or refrigerator. This is normal behaviour it is
not a malfunction.
Low Oil Alarm
(Red)
When the engine oil falls below the required level the Low Oil Alarm will
come on and the engine will stop automatically. The engine will not restart
until oil is added to the unit to bring it up to the appropriate level.
Note:
When starting the unit, if the Low Oil Alarm light flickers and the
engine will not start, you will need to add engine oil before
attempting to restart the engine.
Note:
Generator should only be operated on a level surface. DO NOT
operate the generator on loose ground or obvious inclines. The
low oil shutdown feature may be prematurely activated in these
cases causing the engine to not start.
Engine Switch
The Engine Switch controls the ignition switch. The
switch must be in the
“ON”
position to start the
generator. Switching to the
“OFF”
position stops the
engine and will not allow the engine to be restarted.
