When the engine oil level drops too low the engine will
automatically shut down and the oil indicator illuminates.
The engine can be restarted up only after the engine oil is
lled correctly.
Tip: If the engine does not start, turn the fuel valve to "ON"
position and pull the recoil handle. If the oil lamp ashes for
a few seconds, it indicates that the oil is insufcient. Fill the
oil to the high mark of the dipstick and restart it.
Low Idle (Energy Saving) Switch
When low idle switch is switched to "ON" position
engine speed is reduced when the generator is under
light load. This feature will reduce fuel consumption
and noise.
