RECEPTACLES
CAUTION
Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater
than generator output capacity.
• NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more
amperage than generator or receptacle can supply.
• DO NOT overload the generator. See "Don't Overload
Generator".
AC Voltmeter (Model 030213 Only)
Use the voltmeter as a visual aid. It indicates AC voltage.
If the meter indicates that AC output voltage is far below
230 Volts, engine speed or frequency may be too low.

Circuit Breaker

The model 030212 circuit breaker is rated at 10 Amps.
The model 030213 circuit breaker is rated at 15 Amps.
This circuit breaker, when tripped, will cut off power to
all 230 Volt outlets.To reset the breaker, set the switch to

COLD WEATHER

OPERATION

Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4°C] combined with high humidity), your generator
may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the
crankcase breather system.To reduce this problem, you
need to perform the following:
1. Make sure generator has clean, fresh petrol.
2. Open petrol valve (turn valve to open position).
3. Use SAE 5W-30 oil (synthetic preferred, see engine
manual).
4. Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours of
operation.
5. Maintain generator following "Maintenance Schedule"
in engine manual.
6. Shelter unit from elements.
