A—Power Control Center

Household Outlets

125VAC 20 Amp Duplex (NEMA 5- 20R) outlets to connect 120V appli- ances to generator for power.

Generator Cord

125/250VAC 30 Amp Twist-Lock (NEMA L14-30R) outlet can be used to:

•Power 120V appliances using 4-in-1 power cord (not included).

•Power 240V appliances using appropriate (NEMA L14- 30P) power cord (not included).

Breakers

Protects circuits from damage caused by overload or short-circuit by stopping the flow of electricity from the generator to the appli-

ance. Master circuit breaker controls power Set Tripped

to all outlets. If there is no power at outlets, see Troubleshooting section.

Hour Meter

Shows the total unit run time for maintenance purposes.

Ground Terminal

Connects generator to ground wire for grounding protection.

CAUTION

Generator must be grounded to prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances. See page 11.

B—Battery Tray and Battery

Provides power for electric start feature.

C—Oil Fill Dipstick

Seals off engine oil fill hole and provides indicator for engine oil level.

D—Oil Drain Screw

Allows engine oil to drain from generator.

E—Engine Control Switch

Control used to start and stop the engine. Engine control switch has three positions:

•RUN—Prepares engine to start (manual start); Indicates engine is currently running (electric start)

•STOP—Stops generator engine

F—Fuel Shut-off Valve

Controls flow of fuel from fuel tank to carburetor.

G—Recoil Starter Grip Handle

J—Fuel Tank Cap

Provides a secure seal on fuel tank.

K—Fuel Gauge

Indicates level of fuel currently in fuel tank.

L—Muffler Equipped with Spark Arrestor

Provides outlet for engine exhaust. Prevents sparks and other combustible materials from escaping generator.
