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).
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level (see
page 11) before troubleshooting in other areas.
Automatic Engine Stop Function
Oil Alert Function
During operation, the engine will automatically stop if there is not
enough oil in the tank. Moreover, if the generator is on a slope, the oil
alert function may operate, and stop the engine.
Overspeed Detection Function
To protect the engine from exceeding the engine load, the engine will
automatically stop if the engine speed becomes abnormal.
Abnormal Voltage Detection Function
The engine will automatically stop during generation when it detects
abnormal voltage.
If the engine stops, inspect the amount of engine oil, and a while, then
try to restart the engine. When the engine will not start at all, take your
generator to the dealer.
