GA-6HE/GA-6HEA — CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

Figure 3A. Generator Components

1.

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.

2.

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.

3.

Idle Control Switch – These generators are 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.

4.

Operation Switch – Place this toggle switch in the "ON"

 

position (up) for normal operation.To turn-off the generator,

 

place the operation switch in the "OFF" position (down).

5. Start Switch – Press this pushbutton switch to start the generators.

6.GFCI Duplex Receptacle – This NEMA 5-20R, GFCI receptacle will provide 120V, 20 amps.(There are two on the GA- 6HEA.)

7. 120V Output Receptacle – NEMA L5-20Rtwist-lock receptacle will provide 120V, 20 amps, 60 Hz.

8. 120V Output Receptacle – NEMA L5-30Rtwist-lock receptacle will provide (120V, 30 amps, 60 Hz.)

9. 120V/240V Output Receptacle – NEMA L14-30R twist- lock receptacle will provide (120V, 50 amps, or 240V, 25 amps, 60 Hz.)

10. Main Breaker – This 2-pole circuit breaker (240V/25 amps or 120V/50 amps) protects the generator from short circuiting or overloading. When starting the generator always have the circuit breaker placed in the "OFF" position.

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

12. Battery – This unit is equipped with a 12 VDC battery. Replace with only recommended type battery.
