CONTROL PANEL

A.120 V, 20 Ampere Duplex Receptacle

This duplex is split so that 20 amps of current may be

drawn from each half of the receptacle. However, total power drawn must be kept within nameplate ratings. These receptacles may be used along with the twistlock receptacle provided the generator is not overloaded.

B.120/240 V, 30 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle

A maximum of 30 amps may be drawn from the 120/240

volt receptacle, provided it is the only receptacle used. However, current must be limited to the nameplate rating. If the 120/240 volt receptacle is used along with the 120 volt receptacle, the total load drawn must not exceed the nameplate ratings.

C.Circuit Breakers

The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If

the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem before attempting to use the generator again. If overloading causes the circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load. NOTE:

Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker may cause damage to generator or equipment. The circuit breaker may be reset by pushing the button of the breaker.

D.Engine On/Off Switch

PORTABILITY KIT INSTALLATION

TOOLS REQUIRED: 7/16”, 1/2” and 9/16" sockets and ratchets, block(s) of wood (minimum of 6” tall).

4.Thread 3/8 nyloc nut (item 36) onto the bolt and tighten to securely clamp the wheel assembly to the carrier.

5.Repeat above instructions for the remaining wheel.

FOOT INSTALLATION

1.Assemble the rubber feet (item 32) to the foot bracket (item 49) using a 1/4-20 x 1.5” bolt (item 48). Thread a 1/4 washer (item 39) and a 1/4 nyloc nut (item 13) to the bolt to secure the assembly. Caution: Do not over tighten so that the foot material collapses.

2.Blocking up the alternator side of the generator, place the foot bracket under the carrier channel. Thread a 5/16-18 x 1” bolt (item 47) with a 5/16 washer (item 34) through the mounting holes and thread a 5/16 washer (item 34) and a 5/16 nyloc nut (item 16) to the bolt to secure the foot bracket to the carrier.

LOCKING HANDLE

1.Attach the lanyards (item 33) to the release pins (item 37) and carrier as shown in the illustration.
