On the covered Honda EU2200i generator, the red Oil Alert light on and the engine stopped means the Oil Alert system stopped the engine before the oil level in the crankcase fell below a safe limit. Honda says the engine switch stays in the ON position. First, check the engine oil level before troubleshooting anything else.

ReversibleHonda's step: if the engine stops or the indicator comes on when you pull the starter grip, check the engine oil level first. Its no-start table says to turn the engine switch OFF, add engine oil, turn the switch ON and restart. Honda also says the Oil Alert/Check indicator comes on when CO-MINDER stops the engine, so a good oil level points at the CO-MINDER instead.
