2.2HOURMETER

The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled maintenance:

There will be a one time break in "CHG OIL" message that flashes with the elapsed time in hours and tenths after the first 30 hours of operation.

This message will actually begin flashing at 29 hours and disable itself at 31 hours providing a two hour window to perform the service.

There will be a subsequent "CHG OIL" message every 100 hours. The message will flash one hour before and one hour after each 100 hour interval, again providing a two hour window to perform service.

Every 200 hours the "SVC" icon on the lower left hand corner of the display will flash. The message will flash one hour before and one hour after each 200 hour interval providing a two hour window to perform service.

When the hour meter is in the Flash Alert mode, the maintenance message will always alternate with elapsed time in hours and tenths. The hours will flash four times, then alternate with the maintenance message four times until the meter resets itself.

•30 hours - CHG OIL — Break-in Interval (First 30 hrs only)

•100 hours - CHG OIL — Oil Change Interval (Every 100 hrs)

•200 hours - SVC — Air Filter Interval (Every 200 hrs)

2.3CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS

2.3.1 120 VAC, 20 AMP, DUPLEX RECEPTACLE

This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 20 Amp push- to-reset circuit breaker (Figure 8). Use each socket to power 120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Use only high quality, well- insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for 125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).

Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of wires.

2.3.2 120 VAC, 20 AMP, GFCI RECEPTACLE

This unit is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). This device meets applicable federal, state and local codes (Figure 9).

A GFCI receptacle is different from conventional receptacles. In the event of a ground fault, a GFCI will trip and quickly stop the flow of electricity to prevent serious injury.

Definition: Instead of following its normal safe path, electricity passes through a persons body to reach the ground. For example, a defective appliance can cause a ground fault.

A GFCI receptacle does NOT protect against circuit overloads, short circuits, or shocks. For example, electric shock can still occur if a person touches charged electrical wires while standing on a non-conducting surface, such as a wood floor.
