Engine Maintenance; Statstation; Wattage Monitor Operation; Maintenance Reminder - Craftsman 580.325610 Operator's Manual

The StatStation
TM
displays the nominai ioad on generator
based on output frequency. It also has a built in maintenance
reminder.
Wattage Monitor Operatian
The dispiay is two seven-segment LEDs that provide an easy-
to-read indication of the amount of power being suppiied by
the generator. The ioad monitor displays the generator's
output as a percentage.
As generator ioad increases, the dispiay vaiues wiii increase.
When the dispiayed values begin flashing, the user should
stop adding electricaI ioads to the generator.
If the power usage becomestoo hi@l, the ietters "OL" (for
Over Load) will flash on the display. The user should reduce
the amount of load attached to the generator.
_laintenanee Reminder
The LEDwill display certain codes to aiert you to check oii,
change off, check or replaceair fiiter and check or replace
spark piug. The foliowing codes wiii display:
"C1" Check oii at 8 hour increments
"C2" Changeoil at 50 hour increments
"C3" Check or repiace air fiiter at 25 hour increments
"C4" Check or repiace spark piug at 100 hour increments
To take advantage of the StatStation "maintenance reminder"
capabilities, tile user must press tile reset button after
compieting the maintenancecatied for in the dispiayed code
(Cl, C2, C3, or C4). This results in a display of "Co" or "CA",
depending on how iong the button is pressed:
1) "Co" = Pressing the reset button once quickiy wiii
display "Co" (clearing to zero). This wilI clear any
maintenancecodes that haveelapsed up to that point
and they wiii begin timing again from zero.
2) "CA" - Pressing and hoiding the reset button for
2 seconds wilI display "CA"(clearing all). This clears alI
maintenancecodes, even if they have not yet reached
their service point, and they will begin timing again
from zero.
If nominal Ioad and maintenancecodes appear
simuItaneously, the LEDshall display, alternately, the
nominal Ioad and code as follows:
The code wilI display for 3 seconds, then 1/2 second off. The
load will display for 6 seconds and then 1/2 second off.

NOTE:When adding oiI to the engine crankcase, use only
high quality detergent oii classified "For Service SF, SG, SH,

NOTE:Synthetic oii meeting iLSAC GF=2, A PI certification
mark and APi service symboi with "SJ/CFENERGY
CONSERVING" o r higiler, is an acceptabieoii at aii
temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil
change intervals.
$AE 30:40 °F and h@her(5 °C and h,{qher)is good for ati
purpose use above 40°F, use below 40°F will cause hard
starting.
10W-30:0 to 100 °F (=18 to 38 °C) is better for varying
temperature conditions. This grade of oii improves coid
weather starting, but may increase oil consumption at 80°F
(27°C) or higher.
*Check oii ievei frequently at higher temperatures.
Synthetic 5W-30:=20 to 120 °F (=30to 40 °5')provides the
best protection at all temperatures as weii as improved
starting with iess oii consumption.
5W-31}: 40 °F and be_;ow (5 °C and be/ow) is recommended
for winter use, and works best in cold conditions.
