Hi, no, it doesn't have an auto shut down switch when not in use you will have to connect a power disconnect button/switch.I can tell you it does have 3/4 hp suction which we are happy with.hope this help.

Nowhere in the manual can I find a low oil shutdown feature. Nor on the engine itself.

The fan on my machine turns off when the reservoir is full. I don't think the RH ever gets low enough in NC to know if the fan keeps running or not.

It does not turn off automatically. I left it on several times after I didn't realize the oil had evaporated. Nothing happened.

I notice that my machine gets a bit hot but has never shut down as a result. I have not had it on for more than a minute - usually much less.

We never had a problem and it does not shut off. You should check with manufacturer to see if it can be a defective unit

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, this generator has a fuel shut off valve.

It's oil cooled... really needs to be stored in a warm place before use... turn it on and use it if you have stored in a warmer place... trip circuit breakers left and right if you have left it out in the cold. Really doesn't want to run other wise. Personally, I love it. Runs like a champ, just does not like any cold starts.

Yes it has a high and low. Not sure how long it would continuously on low. Most I ran mine continuously was about 5 hours.

Mine does not have auto shutoff and so keep running when dry. Doesn't seem to be problematic though. Love this little beauty!

It runs until you turn it off. If it runs for over an hour or so the aroma from the oil is not very noticeable.

I have been using two of these unit for two years and have not noticed problem.I personally feel the shut off is not fast enough to cause that effect.

It's a very simple machine. Just change the oil every 50-100 hours. The generator came with a nice oil changing kit; use it (as it is a clean operation). Warranties and warranty work will cost more than the machine is worth!

It has a single jet burner that you have to monitor....The unit holds the heat very well and will continue to fry even after it is turned off.... It is not a problem and actually helps save gas...:)

I'm not an expert on these things. The settings I use are "on setting 10 sec." off settings 15 secs." and when I turn it on I never go very far above the on off switch. In other words I turn it on low and that is where I leave it. I've forgotten it and left it on all night and it didn't use that much oil. That is all I know.

If it only did it the first time you ran it. It is normal. Burning off oil on metal from manufacture.
