2.10LOWOILPRESSURESHUTDOWNSYSTEM
The engineis equippedwith a low oil pressuresensor that shuts
down the engineautomaticallywhenthe oil pressuredrops below
5 psi. A delay built into the low oil shutdown system allows oil
pressureto build during starting. The delay allows the engineto
run for about 10 secondsbeforesensingoil pressure.If the engine
shuts down by itself andthe fuel tank has enoughgasoline,check
engineoil level.
2.10.1RESTARtiNG
Iftrying to restartthe enginewithin 10seconds afterit shutsdown,
the enginemay NOTstart. The system needs5 to 10 secondsto
reset.
If the engine is restarted after such a shutdown and the low oil
pressurehas not beencorrected,the enginewill run for about 10
seconds as describedabove andthen stop.
2.11CHARGINGTHEBATTERY(XGTOOOE&XG8OOOE)
Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks
or any other source of heat around a battery.
Wear protective goggles, rubber apron and
rubber gloves when working around a battery.
Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely
corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause
severe burns, if spill occurs flush area with
clear water immediately.
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas while recharging. An explosive mixture will
remain around the battery for a long time after
it has been charged. The slightest spark can
ignite the hydrogen and cause an explosion.
Such an explosion can shatter the battery and
cause blindness or other serious injury.
Use batterychargerplugto keepthe battery chargedand ready
for use. Batterychargingshould be done in a dry location.
1. Plugcharger into "Battery ChargerInput" jack, locatedon the
control panel.Plugwall receptacleend of the battery charger
into a 120 Volt AC wall outlet.
2. Unplugbattery chargerfrom wall outlet andcontrol paneljack
when generatoris goingto be in use.
NOTE:
Do not use the battery chargerfor more than 48 hoursat one
charge.
