REFERENCE GUIDE
The main line breaker is a two-pole thermo-magnetic circuit breaker.
The circuit breaker will protect the generator from overload and short
circuit conditions. To reset the circuit breaker move the toggle to the
OFF position, then back to the ON position. When this circuit breaker
is in the OFF position, all receptacles will be off.
The control panel has two thermal circuit breakers. If the circuit breaker
trips, a black post will extend from the circuit breaker, push the black
post to reset the circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker will not reset, wait
two minutes and try again.
The voltmeter allows for monitoring of the generator.
should be in the green area for all load conditions.
The control panel is equipped with four 120 Volt-20 Amp ground fault
circuit interrupt (GFCI) receptacles (NEMA 5-20R). The receptacles
will accept either NEMA 5-15P or NEMA 5-20P plugs. In the center of
each duplex receptacle there is both a test/reset button and indicator
lamp. If there is a fault condition with a load connected to a duplex
receptacle, the indicator lamp will glow and the reset button will extend.
To test the GFCI press the test button and the reset button should
extend. The reset button must be pushed to reset the receptacle.
The hour meter allows for monitoring of engine maintenance
schedules.
The charging lamp will glow when the engine charging system is not
functioning correctly. The lamp will glow when the ignition key is in the
run position and the engine is not running.
The control panel is equipped with one NEMA L5-30R receptacle. This
receptacle accepts only NEMA L5-30P plugs.
To start the engine, turn the key to the START position. To stop the
engine, turn the key to the OFF position.
The control panel is equipped with one NEMA L14-30R receptacle.
This receptacle accepts only NEMA L14-30P plugs. This receptacle is
popular for connection to a transfer switch for home standby power.
Your Yanmar engine is equipped with a reusable oil filter. Access to
the oil filter is achieved by loosening the fixing bolt and then rotating
the cover plate. The filter should be inspected during each oil change.
Consult your Yanmar engine manual for further details.
Removal of plug allows drainage of oil from the engine. Consult your
Yanmar engine manual for further details.
Consult your Yanmar engine owner's manual for details concerning oil
change intervals.
Consult your Yanmar owner's manual for engine starting instructions.
Refer to the Yanmar engine manual for air cleaner care.
Reduces the force required to recoil start the engine.
Never operate the generator with a muffler deflector.
Your engine is equipped with a 15 Amp slow blow automotive style
fuse located inside the white protective case.
The engine and generator are mounted on rubber mounts that absorb
most of the engine vibration. This feature eliminates the tendency of
the machine to "walk" which is common with engine powered
equipment.
The battery box provides protection for the battery and will accept a
standard lawn tractor size battery (Group U1-7). The engine requires a
12 volt battery, with a minimum rating of 36 Ah (Amp-hour).
battery section for sizing.
Your NorthStar product is equipped with a high quality brushless
generator. The generator is maintenance free and will provide years of
dependable service.
Large tank allows for extended run capabilities. Always allow room for
fuel expansion by not filling the tank completely full.
The fuel cap is extra large, creating a large hole for refilling and a
comfortable grip. You can always monitor the fuel level without
removing the cap by using the fuel level indicator built into the fuel cap.
