Operation

2.2 HOURMETER

The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled
maintenance:
There will be a one time break in "CHG OIL" message that flashes
with the elapsed time in hours and tenths after the first 30 hours
of operation.
This message will actually begin flashing at 29 hours and disable
itself at 31 hours providing a two hour window to perform the
service.
There will be a subsequent "CHG OIL" message every 100 hours.
The message will flash one hour before and one hour after each
100 hour interval, again providing a two hour window to perform
service.
Every 200 hours the "SVC" icon on the lower left hand corner of
the display will flash. The message will flash one hour before and
one hour after each 200 hour interval providing a two hour window
to perform service.
When the hour meter is in the Flash Alert mode, the maintenance
message will always 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 resets itself.
• 100 hours - CHG OIL — Oil Change Interval (Every 100 hrs)
• 200 hours - SVC — Air Filter Interval (Every 200 hrs)

2.3 CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS

2.3.1 120 VAC, 20 AMP, GFCI DUPLEX RECEPTACLE

This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 20 Amp
push-to-reset circuit breaker (Figure 7). Use each socket to power
120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a
combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Use only
high quality, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for
125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than
15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of
wires.

2.3.2 120/240 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE

Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock/
unlock). Connect a suitable 4-wire grounded cord set to the plug
and to the desired load. The cord set should be rated for 250 Volts
AC at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 8).
Figure 8 - 120/240 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps or
240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 7200 watts
(7.2 kW) of power. The outlet is protected by either a 30 Amp
(8.0kW) circuit breaker.

2.4 HOW TO USE THE GENERATOR

If there are any problems operating the generator, please call the
generator helpline at 1-888-436-3722.

2.4.1 SYSTEM GROUND

The generator has a system ground that connects the generator
frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output
receptacles. The system ground is bonded to the AC neutral wire
in the generator control panel via a jumper wire.
Special Requirements
There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that
apply to the intended use of the generator.
Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the
local agency having jurisdiction:
• In some areas, generators are required to be registered with
local utility companies.
• If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be
additional regulations which must be observed.
Connecting to a Building's Electrical System
Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system
must be made by a qualified electrician. The connection must
isolate the generator power from utility power or other alternative
power sources and must comply with all applicable laws and
electrical codes.
