RECEPTACLES

Your generator is equipped with 120-volt duplex recep- tacles, a 120-volt twistlock receptacle and a 120/240-volt twistlock receptacle.

The unit is equipped with a 15-amp circuit breaker for the 120-volt duplex receptacles and two 25-amp circuit break- ers for the 120-volt twistlock and for the 120/240-volt twistlock receptacle. These circuit breakers are provided to protect the generator against electrical overload. If the circuit breaker trips, unplug all electrical loads from the generator. Let the circuit breaker cool down. Push circuit breaker button to reset.

Battery Installation

To obtain electric start capability, you must install a (12 volt – 45 A.H.) battery. The battery should be properly serviced and fully charged prior to installation.

Install the battery as follows:

Place battery in rack with terminals facing towards generator head.

Place battery bracket over battery as shown (oppo- site battery terminals).

FULL POWER SWITCH

Your Craftsman generator has a full power switch on the control panel. This switch has two positions: 120 VOLT ONLY, and 120/240 VOLT.

120 Position

When placed in the 120 position, (shown below) every re- ceptacle on the panel will be converted to a 120 volt recep- tacle. 240-volt power is not available. This position allows full capacity of the generator to be received by using all 120-volt receptacles. While in the 120 position, each re- ceptacle has the ability to reach the maximum 7500 surge wattage for inductive motors that require 7500 watts or be- low to start.

120V 120/240V

120/240 Position

When in the 120/240 position, (shown below) only half of the 5800 watts can be received when using the 120-volt receptacles and the 120/240-volt twistlock receptacle will be converted to allow the full 5800 watts to be received from this one receptacle. Also in this position, the 120-volt receptacles will only reach a maximum of 3750 surge watts.

120V 120/240V

IMPORTANT: Do not move the full power switch while powering electrical equipment. Unplug all items before moving the switch. Failure to do so can damage the switch.

Connect black battery cable from battery post indicated with NEGATIVE (-) to frame with bolt as shown below.

Connect red battery cable from battery post indi- cated with POSITIVE, (+) to right post on starter solenoid.
