Oil Alert System - Power Fist 8700718 Mode D'emploi

8700718
High-quality detergent engine oils are acceptable if the (API) performance rating
is SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Always check the API service label on the oil
container for the performance rating.
1. Check the oil level before each use with a cool engine that is level.
2. Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or
exceeds the requirements for API
(American Petroleum Institute) service
classification SE. Always check the API
Service label on the oil container to be
sure it includes the letters SE.
3. Do not use special additives.
4. SAE 10W30 is recommended for
general, all-temperature use. Other
viscosities shown on the chart may be used when the average temperature
in your area is within the indicated range (Fig. 9).
5. Above 27°C (80°F), using 10W30 oil may increase oil consumption. Check
the oil level more often.
6. Below 4°C (40°F), using SAE 30 oil will cause hard starting.

OIL ALERT SYSTEM

The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an
insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase
can fall below a safe limit, the oil alert system will automatically stop the engine
(the engine switch will remain in the ON position) and the oil warning indicator
(K) will glow. The oil alert system should not take the place of checking the oil
level before each use. If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil
level before troubleshooting in other areas.
HOW TO CHECK OIL
1. Place the generator on a level surface.
2. Run the generator several minutes until the engine is warm. Turn off the
generator.
3. Remove the spark plug cover (A). Remove the screws from the right side
panel (D). This will allow you to push the panel off from the inside (Fig. 10).
