COMPONENTS

Use information provided in this section to become familiar with your generator's components.
The information below is provided for reference only. Refer to "OPERATION" on page 15 for instructions
on operating generator.
A—Power Control Center
Household Outlets
125VAC 20 Amp Duplex (NEMA 5-
20R) outlets to connect 120V appli-
ances to generator for power.
Power Cord / Transfer Switch
125/250VAC 30 Amp Twist-Lock
(NEMA L14-30R) outlet can be used
to:
•
Power 120V appliances using 4-
in-1 power cord (included with
generator).
•
Power 240V appliances using appropriate (NEMA L14-
30P) power cord (not included).
•
Connect a transfer switch to building's main electrical sys-
tem for backup power (see page 11).
Breakers
Protects circuits from
damage caused by
overload or short-cir-
cuit by stopping flow
of electricity from the
generator to the appliance. Master circuit breaker controls
power to all outlets. If there is no power at outlets, see Trou-
bleshooting section.
Ground Terminal
Connects generator to ground wire for grounding protection.
Generator must be grounded to prevent electrical
shock from faulty appliances. See page 11.
B—Battery Tray and Battery
Provides power for electric start feature.
C—Oil Fill Dipstick
Seals off engine oil fill hole and provides indicator for engine
oil level.

E—Engine Control Switch
Control used to start and stop the engine. Engine control
switch has three positions:
•
START—Starts generator engine
•
RUN—Prepares engine to start (manual start);

H—Air Cleaner Assembly
Removes dust from engine intake air.
I— Choke Control
Controls choke valve. Choke control must be pulled out to ON
position when starting a cold engine.
J—Fuel Gage
Indicates level of fuel currently in fuel tank.
K—Fuel Tank Cap
Provides a secure seal on fuel tank.
L—Muffler Equipped with Spark Arrestor
Provides outlet for engine exhaust. Prevents sparks and other
combustible materials from escaping generator.
M—Spark Plug Cap (Wire)
Delivers voltage to spark plug. When spark plug needs ser-
vice, cap must be removed.
N—Carbon Canister (HW7500EL model only)
Reduces hydrocarbon emissions.
Muffler reaches temperatures that can cause serious
burns if touched. NEVER touch hot surfaces.
