FEATURES
OIL ALERT SYSTEM
The oil alert system protects the engine from 
low oil damage. This system automatically 
shuts down the engine and prevents engine 
restarting if the oil level falls too low.
Note: When this happens, the engine switch 
remains in the ON position. The oil alert 
system is wired into the ON/OFF Switch.
If this system shuts down the engine, the 
engine will not start until you add oil. Add 
oil to engine (see Engine Oil, page 7).
Note: Operate generator on a level surface. 
If not level, the oil may flow away from the 
oil level sensing device. This will cause the 
oil alert system to shut down engine.
See engine owner’s manual for more 
information.
