Generator Features
OIL ALERT SYSTEM (Model 4W315A only)
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 pressure falls too low.
If this system shuts down the engine, the engine will not start until you add oil. The oil alert lamp is near engine starter switch (see Figure 2). Add oil to engine (see
Engine Oil, page 7).
See engine owner’s manual for more information.

VOLTMETER
The voltmeter is on the control panel. The voltmeter shows the generator output voltage (see Figure 4).
120 VOLT ONLY full power switch position: The voltmeter will show about 120V under load.
120/240 VOLT full power switch position: The voltmeter will show about 240V under load.
BATTERY DISCHARGE LAMP (Model 4W315A only)
The battery discharge lamp (see Figure 2, above) will light if battery charger is not operating while engine is running. If this happens, the battery will not charge and will eventually run down. Have battery charging circuit repaired by authorized service person.

FULL POWER SELECTOR SWITCH
The full power selector switch is on the control panel.
The switch has two positions: 120 VOLT ONLY, and
120/240 VOLT.
120 VOLT ONLY: This position sends full power to the
120V receptacles only. 240V power is not available.
Use this position when full power is needed for 120V items only.
120/240 VOLT: This position sends full power to the
120/240V receptacle. It also powers the 120V twist-lock receptacle at half wattage capacity.
