stopping.

Oil Sensor
The oil sensor detects a drop in oil level in the crankcase and
automatically stops the engine when the oil level drops below a
predetermined level.
When the engine has stopped automatically, turn off the generator, and
check the oil level. Drain any excess oil and then refill to the upper level
as instructed and restart the engine.
CAUTION
DO NOT remove oil sensor probe when refilling with oil.
