Hour Meter

The Hour Meter tracks hours of operation for
scheduled maintenance. See
• The SVC display will illuminate one hour
before and one hour after each 200 hour
interval providing a two hour window to per-
form service.
When the hour meter is in flash alert mode,
the maintenance message will alternate with
elapsed time in hours and tenths. The hours
will flash four times, then alternate with the
maintenance message four times until the
meter automatically resets.
• 200 hours - SVC — Change oil, oil filter, air
filter, fuel filter, and spark plug. Clean spark
arrestor screen. (Every 200 hrs)
NOTE: The hour glass icon will flash when the
engine is running. This signifies the meter is
recording hours of operation.

Ground Fault Sensing Module
This unit is equipped with a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI). This device meets applica-
ble federal, state and local codes. The ground
fault sensing module covers all receptacles.
In the event of a ground fault, the GFCI will trip
and stop the flow of electricity to prevent seri-
ous injury.
The GFCI constantly monitors electricity flow-
ing in a circuit. If current flowing through a cir-
cuit varies from what is returning, the GFCI
switches power off tripping the main circuit
breaker on the generator's control panel.
A GFCI does NOT protect against circuit over-
loads, short circuits, or shocks. Electric shock
can still occur if a person touches charged
electrical wires while standing on a non-con-
ducting surface, such as a wood floor.
Test the GFCI module before each use. See
Figure 2-8.
1. Start generator.
2. Plug a test lamp into duplex receptacle.
The lamp should be on.
3. Press TEST button on GFCI to trip the
device. The main breaker should 'trip'.
This is indicated by movement of the actu-
ator handle to the OFF position.

4. This should stop the flow of electricity
making the lamp shut off. If the main
breaker does not 'trip', the GFCI is not
working and the generator should not be
used. Contact an IASD.
5. To restore the flow of electricity, set the
main breaker actuator handle to the 'ON'
position. The handles should remain
latched in this position. If it does not, either
the GFCI or the main breaker is failing and
should be replaced. Contact an IASD.
6. This GFCI is protected against overload by
a 6.5kW, 30 Amp or 8.0kW, 35A/240V
main breaker.
7. The GFCI has Auto-Monitor and End-of-
Life indications with LED status lights.

Automatic Idle Control (if equipped)
This feature improves fuel economy. When
this switch is turned ON, the engine will run at
a normal fast governed engine speed when
electrical load is connected. When load is
removed, the engine will run at a reduced
speed. With the switch OFF, the engine con-
tinually runs at a normal fast engine speed.
Always have the switch OFF when starting
and stopping the engine. See
