can you restart the generator without putting oil in if it shut down for low oil ,if not what do you do to restart.

I haven't tried it. It shouldn't start, it would defeat it's purpose. I don't think it will start if it is low on oil.

No you cant leave it running 100% of the time its not meant for oil use. The Machine will give out if you leave it running for to long....Cycles are 5 min, 10 min, 20 min & 30 min cycles.

I'm going to guess this generator has electric start if so pull the fuel line from carburetor and turn the engine over. You should see the fuel pump pumping fuel if not you need a pump. This pump will work

The generator listed #56352 is a gas unit. No oil mixing with gas. It runs on regular.

yes it does I think the only thing you need to do is put Oil in it and start it up that is after you unpack it.

Per page 26 of http://www.westpropower.com/uploads/2_westpro-portable-gen-om-web-feb2014-1-.pdf - STOPPING THE GENERATOR Normal Operation During normal operation, use the following steps to stop your generator: 1. Remove any connected loads from the control panel receptacles. 2. Allow the generator to run at "no load" to reduce and stabilize engine and alternator temperatures. 3. Push the engine control switch to the OFF position. 4. Turn the fuel shutoff valve to the OFF position.

I ran it in reverse. Otherwise my husband took it apart and it worked for a little while. Then I bought this new one. I see there should be oil on a piece of paper every once in a while. I just learned that. I found a nice on the internet after I bought this one for about the same price and does the same thing at either Walmart or Meijer.

I have ran mine for 8 hours under a full load and kept filling the tank, while the generator ran. Has been a great little generator. Just want to run the generator out of fuel while shutting of the gas.

LP generators are very good for long storage. However, I would recommend testing the generator and replacing the oil on a regular basis. Try to do both on a 1 year basis.

I never have had to do this with ours. The only time ours failed to start was when the propane was almost empty.

There is ground wire attachment point on the front to attach a wire to run to a ground point. It will work without the ground but most generator manufacturers now recommend using an external ground for additional safety.

I have only filled my generator to the full position and then the auxillary to the full position and used.. The fuel will feed from the auxiliary tank first and always leave the tank in your genset full - for example, it will use the fuel in your gen set last.

I looked in the manual for an official answer to your question, but didn't find one. Sorry. I can tell you that it did shut down on me. It was an oil sensor issue. Since then, I made sure that I changed the oil frequently, and it has performed well.

NO...that is one of the best things. just use the key fob to start and stop it and there is circuitry that delays power until the generator is up to good power (about 20 seconds) and it cuts power a few seconds before it stops so it avoids all those issues. BUT...your MUST use the key fob to enable this. I also watched the voltage meter while it was running and it was almost always 125v during normal operation. you could see the out of range voltages before it is ready and then it is good.

Yes. If the electric starter does not start the generator after several attempts, try and start the generator using the recoil. Once the engine is running, let it run for several hours. It will charge the battery while it's running. If the battery does not hold a charge, then you will need to replace the battery. The battery needs to be charged routinely or you can keep the battery on a trickle charger.

I am not sure it can restart when pressure drop below setting; I did not tried that.

double checked the manual, does have a low oil shut off, will not start back up until oil is added.
