* All units are reconnectable to 120 and/or 240 volts, dual voltage output. Units are not listed per RVIA/ANSI when reconnected for dual voltage output
1.6.5 EMISSIONS COMPLIANCE PERIOD
For nonhandled engines the Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance Label indicates the number of operating hours for which the engine has been shown to meet Federal emission requirements.
•For engines less than 225 cc displacement, Category C=125 hours, B=250 hours, and A=500 hours.
•For engines of 225 cc or more, Category C=250 hours, B=500 hours, and A=1000 hours.
2.1GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL
The following features are mounted on the generator control panel (Figure 2.1):
2.1.1 FUEL PRIMER
Before starting a cold engine (if it has not been started in more than two weeks), press this switch for approximately ten seconds to bring fuel from the tank to the fuel pump. This rocker type switch springs back into its original position when it is released.
2.1.4 LINE BREAKERS
Protects generator’s AC output circiut against over- load, i.e., prevents unit from exceeding wattage/ amperage capacity. The circuit breaker ratings are as follows:
| Model | Circuit Breaker 1 | Circuit Breaker 2 | 240 Volt |
|
| QuietPact 55 | 30A | 20A | 25A 2P |
|
| QuietPact 65 | 30A | 30A | 30A 2P |
|
| QuietPact 75 | 35A | 35A | 35A 2P |
|
NOTE:
If this generator has been reconnected for dual voltage AC output (120/240 volts), install line breakers having an amperage rating that is differ- ent than that stated above. The replacement line breakers consist of two separate breakers with a connecting piece between the breaker handles (so that both breakers will operate at the same time). If the unit is reconnected for dual voltage, it is no longer RVIA or CSA listed.

2.1.2 START/STOP SWITCH
To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the START position. Release the switch when the engine starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts off. The switch center position is the RUN position.
2.1.3 7.5 AMP FUSE
The fuse protects the engine’s DC control circuit against electrical overload. If the fuse element has melted open due to overloading, the engine cannot be cranked. If the fuse must be replaced, use only an identical 7.5 amp replacement fuse.
