CONTROL PANEL FEATURES
Low Oil Shut Off System
The low oil shut off is designed to prevent the engine from being
damaged because of a lack of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil
level falls to an unsafe level the engine will shut off. Although the
engine is automatically shut off, the engine switch will still remain
in the ON position.
Turn off the generator immediately and add the proper amount of
oil to the engine.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule and the Engine Oil section.
V.F.T. Digital Meter Display
The V.F.T. digital meter displays the running voltage, the running
frequency and both the current time of use and the continuous
time of use for maintenance purposes.
Circuit Breaker
The circuit breaker protects the individual circuit protectors and
the 30A 120V/240V receptacle. The circuit breaker will
automatically switch OFF if the circuit is overloaded or if the
appliance plugged into the circuit is faulty. If the circuit breaker is
switched OFF automatically, check that the appliance is working
properly and that it does not exceed the rated load capacity of the
circuit before switching the circuit breaker ON again.
Circuit Protector
The circuit protectors will automatically switch OFF if the individual
circuit is overloaded or the appliance plugged into the circuit is
faulty. If the circuit protector is switched OFF automatically, check
that the appliance is working properly and that it does not exceed
the rated load capacity of the circuit before resetting the circuit
protector by pressing the reset buttons.
