2.12.1 INITIAL START-UP
A delay built into the low oil shutdown system allows oil pressure to build 
during starting. The delay allows the engine to run for about 10 seconds 
before sensing oil pressure.
2.12.2 SENSING LOW OIL PRESSURE
If the system senses low oil pressure during operation, the engine shuts 
down.
2.12.3 RESTARTING
If trying to restart the engine within 10 seconds after it shuts down, the 
engine may NOT start. The system needs five (5) to 10 seconds to reset.
If the engine is restarted after such a shutdown and the low oil pressure 
has not been corrected, the engine will run for about 10 seconds as 
described above and then stop.
2.13  CHARGING A BATTERY
DANGER
   
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.
DANGER
  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 caustic sulfuric acid solution that can 
cause severe burns. If spill occurs flush area with 
clear water immediately. 
This generator has the capability of recharging a discharged 12 Volt 
automotive or utility style storage battery. Do not use the unit to charge 
any 6 Volt batteries. Do not use the unit to crank an engine having a 
discharged battery.
This battery charger is a pulse type designed to provide a quality charge 
current into the battery. The voltage measured at the outlet should be 8-12 
VDC. This is normal and does not indicate a faulty charging system.
To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:
Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add ONLY distilled 
• 
water to cover separators in battery cells. Do not use tap water.
If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they are installed 
• 
and are tight. 
If necessary, clean battery terminals. 
• 
Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel receptacle 
• 
identified by the words "12-VOLT D.C."
Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to the positive (+) 
• 
battery terminal.
Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle to the negative 
• 
(-) battery terminal.
Start engine. Let the engine run while battery recharges. Engine idle 
• 
control switch must be in off position for battery charging.
When battery has charged, shut down engine.
• 
NOTE:
Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery state of charge and 
condition. Follow the hydrometer manufacturer's instructions carefully. 
Generally, a battery is considered to be at 100% state of charge when 
specific gravity of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer) is 1.260 or 
higher.
3.1 MAINTENANCE 
SCHEDULE
Follow the calendar intervals. More frequent service is required when 
operating in adverse conditions noted below.
Check Oil Level 
At Each Use
Change Oil ‡ 
*Every 100 hours or Every Season
Check Valve Clearance 
***Every Season
Service Air Filter 
** Every 200 hours or Every Season
Replace Spark Plug 
Every Season
‡  Change oil after first 30 hours of operation then every season.
*  Change oil and oil filter every month when operating under heavy load or in high 
temperatures.
** Clean more often under dirty or dusty operating conditions.  Replace air filter 
parts if they cannot be adequately cleaned.
*** 
Check valve clearance and adjust if necessary after first 50 hours of 
operation and every 100 hours thereafter.
