If overloading caused the trip, reduce the load. Reset by pressing the protector button. Continuous tripping may damage the generator or equipment. | 8 |
| Oil Warning Indicator Light | Indicates the oil has fallen below the minimum level. The engine stops automatically and will not start until the proper amount of oil is in the crankcase. | Check the oil level when this light turns on. Add the proper amount of engine oil to the crankcase before attempting to start the engine. | 8 |
| Overload Indicator Light | Connected devices have exceeded the generator's wattage or amperage capacity, or a power surge occurred. The AC Power light goes off, the engine keeps running, and power to the receptacles is cut. | Keep the total power drawn from all receptacles within the nameplate rating. | 8 |
| Circuit Breaker | The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit protector that trips if the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs. | Disconnect all electrical loads and find the cause before using the generator again.

FAQ
How long does the Firman T04472 run on a tank?
The maker rates it at 13 hours at 50 % load (about 2,200 W) on a 5.0-gal tank. A light load such as a refrigerator and lights runs longer; a full load runs shorter.
Can the Firman T04472 start a sump pump or well pump?
Starting surge matters more than running watts: this unit is rated 5500 W peak. That covers a typical 1/2 HP sump pump (about 2150 W to start). Use the calculator with your exact pump.
