GENERATOR OUTPUT CONNECTION LUGS The generator is equipped with connection lugs behind the lug door next to the customer convenience outlets. The lugs provide connection points for attachment of external loads to the generator. A large decal on the inside of the connection lug door details the proper connections for selected voltages.
GENERATOR CAM LOCK CONNECTIONS (OPTIONAL) The generator may be equipped with cam lock connections located behind the lug door next to the customer convenience outlets. These receptacles provide connection points for attachment of external loads to the generator. A large decal on the inside of the connection lug door details the proper connections for selected voltages. WARNING It is RECOMMENDED that only a trained and licensed electrician perform any wiring and related connections to the generator.
VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH The voltage selector switch is located under the control panel, next to the output connection lugs. The selector switch is a three position switch that mechanically changes the connections between the generator output leads and the connection lugs or optional cam lock connectors. Voltage ranges are selected by rotating the handle on the switch to the desired voltage.
4-POSITION VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH (OPTIONAL) The voltage selector switch is located under the control panel, next to the connection lugs. This optional selector switch is a four position switch that mechanically changes the connection between the generator output leads and the connection lugs or optional cam lock connectors.
The regulator has three screwdriver adjustable potentiometers that may be adjusted for voltage, stability and voltage roll-off (U/F). The voltage regulator on your unit is adjusted before shipment from the factory. Contact Magnum Products LLC for additional information before attempting to adjust the voltage regulator.
CUSTOMER CONVENIENCE OUTLETS The generator is equipped with four convenience outlets. The large outlets are 240/120 VAC twist-lock receptacles rated at 50A each. The smaller outlets are 120 VAC duplex receptacles rated at 20A each with ground fault interrupt (GFCI) protection. These receptacles are not routed through the main circuit breaker.

DANGER FAILURE TO ISOLATE THE GENERATOR FROM THE NORMAL POWER UTILITY CAN CAUSE POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGE TO BACKFEED INTO THE UTILITY LINES. THIS MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR ELECTROCUTION OF UTILITY WORKERS NEARBY. MAKE SURE THAT THE GENERATOR IS ISOLATED BY A TRANSFER SWITCH FROM ANY LOCAL UTILITY LINES.
ENGINE BREAK-IN REQUIREMENTS Note: During the first 20 hours of operation, avoid long periods of no load or sustained maximum load operation. If the generator is to run for longer than five minutes without a load, shut the generator down. The engine is supplied with engine break-in oil from the factory.
DAILY MAINTENANCE CHECKS Check the engine oil level daily before starting engine. DO NOT start the generator if the oil level is below the ADD mark on the dipstick. The normal operating level for the engine oil is anywhere in the crosshatch pattern between the FULL and ADD markings.
LIFTING THE GENERATOR A large central lifting eye is located on the top of the generator. The eye is connected to a central lifting frame inside the unit. Attach a sling or hook directly to the lifting eye only if the devices are in good condition and the equipment being used to raise the unit has sufficient capacity.
