Compare the generator to Figures 2-5 through 2-7 to
become familiarized with the locations of various controls
and adjustments.
Read the Owner's Manual and Safety Rules before
operating this generator.
1. 120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking Receptacle –
Supplies electrical power for the operation of 120
and/or 240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, single-phase, 60 Hz
electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads.
2. Hourmeter - Tracks hours of operation to perform
required maintenance.
3. Circuit Breakers (AC) – A 2-pole circuit breaker pro-
tects the rated output of the 30 Amp Twistlock outlet.
Each duplex receptacle is provided with a push-to-
reset circuit breaker to protect against electrical over-
load.
4. 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp GFCI Duplex Outlets – Sup-
plies electrical power for the operation of 120 Volt
AC, 20 Amp, single-phase, 60 Hz, electrical lighting,
appliance, tool and motor loads. It also provides pro-
tection with an integral Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupter, complete with a press to "Test" and "Reset"
button.
5. Off/Run/Start Switch – Controls the operation of the
generator.
6. Battery Charger Input – Permits recharging of the
battery. A 12 volt charger is included. A 1.50 Amp in-
line fuse is located behind the control panel to protect
the battery when charging.
7. Powerbar – Indicates the amount of power being
used from the generator. Each section is approxi-
mately 20%.
8. Idle Control Switch – operates the engine at normal
(high) rpm when there is an electrical load present
and automatically reduces the engine to a lower rpm
when a load is not present. The system can also be
turned off to operate the engine at a higher rpm at all
times.
