Operation

2.2 HOURMETER

The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled
maintenance:
There will be a "CHG OIL" message every 100 hours. The message
will flash one hour before and one hour after each 100 hour
interval, 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
circuit breaker (Figure 4). 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 to prevent voltage drop
and possible overheating of wires.
Figure 4 - 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex Receptacle
2.3.2 120/240 VAC, 20 AMP, RECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L14-20 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 20 Amps (or greater) (Figure 5).

Figure 5 - 120/240 Volt AC, 20 Amp Receptacle
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 2400 watts (2.4 kW) of power at 20 Amps
or 240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 4000
watts (4.0 kW) of power at 16.6 Amps. The outlet is protected by
a 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.
Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors!

NEVER use in the home, or in partly enclosed
areas such as garages, even if doors and
windows are open! ONLY use outdoors and far
from open windows, doors, vents, and in an
area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust.
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon

monoxide, which can you cannot see or smell.
This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or
even death.
Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and

ventilating air is critical to correct generator
operation. Do not alter the installation or permit
even partial blockage of ventilation provisions,
as this can seriously affect safe operation
of the generator. The generator MUST be
operated outdoors.
This exhaust system must be properly

maintained. Do nothing that might render the
exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance
with any local codes and/or standards.
The manufacturer recommends installing

a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm
indoors, according to the manufacturers
instructions.
