HOURMETER - WITH RESET

The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled maintenance (see
chart).
Operation: Push and release the reset button to toggle between screens.
The hours count backwards from the set interval as shown in the chart.
When the meter reaches 5 hours,the text "CHG OIL" (or "SVC AIR FILTER"
or "CHG PLUG") will flash continually for two minutes. After this time, the
meter will go back to displaying the total hours of the unit (for 2 minutes).
This cycle will repeat for the entire 5 hours.
When the service interval reaches zero hours, the text "NOW" replaces the
hours remaining.
For a new generator for instance, the message will say "CHG OIL" then
flash "in 30". This means that in 30 hours, the oil will need to be changed.
Pressing the button a few more times will bring the meter back to the
screen that shows the total hours run.
Reset: Toggle to the alert that you wish to reset then hold the button
down for 9 seconds. The maintenance hours are reset when the display
shows "0000.0".
The hour glass graphic will flash on and off when the engine is running.
This signifies that the meter is tracking hours of operation.

CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS

2.3.1 120 VAC, 20 AMP, DUPLEX RECEPTACLE
This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 20 Amp push-
to-reset circuit breaker (Figure 9). 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.
