CIRCUIT BREAKERS
In addition to the reset button that protects the generator's main
circuit, the circuit breakers (Fig. 25) protect the individual AC and
DC circuits. The 20-amp AC circuit breaker will activate when the
NEMA 5-20 outlets exceed 20A. The 10-amp DC circuit breaker
will activate when the DC 12V and USB outlets exceed 10A. When
the circuit breaker activates, turn off and disconnect the device
from its respective outlet, and press the circuit breaker to reset.
MULTI-METER
The multi-meter on your generator switches between voltage
(e.g. 120.1), frequency (e.g. 60.0H), and runtime (e.g. 12.3) every 5 seconds. When you first use the generator, the
meter will count runtime, but will not store runtime until the generator is run for longer than 2 hours at a time. Once
the generator has been run for more than 2 hours at a time, the meter will track runtime normally. For an example,
as well as more explanation, please refer to Table 4 below.

Every 50 hours, the meter will display "]--[", which is to remind you to perform 50-hour maintenance. Consult the
maintenance chart for recommended procedures. The display code will appear every 15 seconds for 6 minutes.
After 6 minutes, or after the generator is shut down and restarted, the code will clear and display voltage, frequency,
and runtime, as before.
NOTE: The fuel gauge on your multi-meter displays the amount of gasoline in the tank. It does not display the
amount of LPG remaining.

COMMENTS
Meter will show "1.5" just before it is shut off,
but it has not been run for 2 hours at a time
yet.
Meter will show "0.5" just before it is shut off,
but it has not been run for 2 hours at a time
yet.
Meter will show "1.0" just before it is shut off,
but it has not been run for 2 hours at a time
yet.
Meter will show "3.0" at the end, since it has
been run for more than 2 hours. It will not in-
clude the 3 hours (1.5 + 0.5 + 1) the generator
was run before.
Meter will show "5.0" at the end, since it has
been run for 3 + 2 = 5 hours. The meter is
counting normally, and will continue operating
normally.
