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.

FAQ
Can the Firman W01782 start a sump pump or well pump?
Starting surge matters more than running watts: this unit is rated 2100 W peak. That is below a typical 1/2 HP sump pump start (about 2150 W); check your pump label. Use the calculator with your exact pump.
