GDP-5H — CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

Figure 4A. Generator Components

1.	230V Output Receptacles– These three NEMA 7410
	twist-lock receptacles will provide 230V, 12.5 amps,
	180 Hz.
2.	180 Hz Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker – This 3-pole
	earth leakage circuit breaker allows the circuit to be broken
	when the load side shorts or there is an over-current
	condition. In addition, during operation of the generator it
	can detect when there is defective insulation on the load
	side and breaks the circuit in response. When starting the
	generator always have the circuit breaker placed in the
	"OFF" position.
3.	Lifting Bail Eye – Attach a rope or chain to this lifting eye
	when lifting of the generator is required. Never stand
	underneath the generator while it is being lifted. Place lifting
	eye in down position when not in use.
4.	60 Hz Circuit Breaker – This 2-pole circuit breaker (240/
	15 amps or 120/30 amps) protects the generator from short
	circuiting or overloading. When starting the generator
	always have the circuit breaker placed in the "OFF"
	position.
5.	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 Multiquip service dealer. This meter cannot be used for 180 Hz applications.

6.	Idle Control Switch – This generator is provided with an
	automatic idle control device for noise suppression and
	reduced fuel consumption. The automatic idle control
	automatically engages under a no-load condition. With the
	automatic idle control switched “ON”, the engine revolutions
	will automatically drop to about 2600 rpm (low-speed
	operation) within 3 seconds after the load stops. When the
	operation is resumed, the engine speed is automatically
	increased to about 3600 rpm (high-speed operation) as
	soon as the load is connected.
7.	Operation Switch – Place this rocker switch in the "ON"
	position (up) for normal operation.To turn-off the generator
	place this switch in the "OFF" position (down).

8.GFCI Duplex Receptacle – This NEMA 5-20R, GFCI receptacle will provide 120V, 20 amps.

9. Ground – This ground connection point should be connect to a good earth ground (ground rod).

10. 240V Output Receptacle – This NEMA L6-20R twist- lock receptacle will provide 240V, 15 amps, 60 Hz.

11. 120V Output Receptacle – This NEMA L5-30R twist- lock receptacle will provide 120V, 30 amps, 60 Hz.
