1. 120V Output Receptacle – This NEMA L5- 20R twist- lock receptacle will provide 120V, 20 amps, 60 Hz. Applies to units with S/N 5496763 and above.

2. GFCI Receptacle – This 5-20R duplex receptacle will provide 120V at all times.

3. AC-Voltmeter – This voltmeter indicates (with a mark) the rated 60 Hz, single phase output voltage. In addition the voltmeter can also be used as a diagnostic tool. If the voltmeter indicator (needle) is below the rated voltage, engine problems may exist (low/high RPM's). To prevent damage to the generator or power tools turn the generator OFF and consult your authorized MQ service dealer.

4. Ciruit Breaker – To protect the generator from an overload, a 2- pole 20 amp circuit breaker is provided on the control box. Make sure to place the circuit breaker to the "OFF" postion prior to starting the engine.
