AC Circuit Breakers Provide overcurrent protection for the generator output. When tripped, the plunger (in center of breaker) will extend out about 3/8 inch. Remove the loads, push the plunger into the breaker to reset the breaker the restore the loads.

WARNING: Never connect this generator to any buildings electrical system unless a licensed electrician has installed an approved transfer switch. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that connection of a generator to any elastical circuit normally powered by means of an electric utility must be connected by means of approved transfer switch equipment so as to isolate the electrical circuit from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the electrical circuits by such means may result in injury or death to utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy onto the utility lines.

Receptacles – Receptacles are provided to allow easy connection of electrical loads. Never connect this generator to any buildings electrical system unless a licensed electrician has installed an approved transfer switch. Multiple receptacles may be used at the same time provided the total electrical load does not exceed the generators rated output.
