OPERATING THE GENERATOR
RECEPTACLES | Figure 5 — 230 Volt AC, 20 Amp Receptacle | |
CAUTION | ||
Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater |
| |
than generator output capacity. |
| |
• NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more |
| |
amperage than generator or receptacle can supply. |
| |
• DO NOT overload the generator. See “Don’t Overload | 230V | |
Generator”. | ||

AC Voltmeter (Model 030213 Only) |
| |
Use the voltmeter as a visual aid. It indicates AC voltage. |
| |
If the meter indicates that AC output voltage is far below |
| |
230 Volts, engine speed or frequency may be too low. |
| |
Circuit Breaker | Ground | |
|
The model 030212 circuit breaker is rated at 10 Amps. The model 030213 circuit breaker is rated at 15 Amps. This circuit breaker, when tripped, will cut off power to all 230 Volt outlets.To reset the breaker, set the switch to the “On” position.When the switch is in the “Off” position the engine may be running but no power is supplied to the outlets.
For model 030212, this receptacle powers 230 Volt AC, 50 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 2,500 Watts of power (2.5 kW) at 10 Amps for 230 Volts.
For model 030213, these receptacles power 230 Volt AC, 50 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 2,800 Watts of power (2.8 kW) at 12.1 Amps for 230 Volts total.

COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40°F [4°C] combined with high humidity), your generator may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system.To reduce this problem, you need to perform the following:
1.Make sure generator has clean, fresh petrol.
2.Open petrol valve (turn valve to open position).
3.Use SAE
4.Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours of operation.
5.Maintain generator following “Maintenance Schedule” in engine manual.
6.Shelter unit from elements.
