"Champion Power Equipment engines come equipped with a low oil sensor that prevents the engine from running when too little oil is in the crankcase. The sensor may stick on engines that have not been run since the initial quality assurance testing (oil is added at the end of the manufacturing process in order to test each unit before it is packed and shipped.)."
The link above while it is for NON INVERTER models does spell out some of the troubleshooting ideas I have mentioned.
Seen a post that some engines are sensitive to oil levels, they have had issues when the oil level was three threads below the top of the filler.. Make sure your oil is at the top of the max fill line. Oil gets splashed around which depletes some the oil in the crankcase, not having on the full line can result in the low oil switch to trigger.
