GA-6RE/GA-6REA — 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 generators,
	place the operation switch in the "OFF" position (down).

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

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

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 – This NEMA L14-30Rtwist-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/41.6 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 connected to a good earth ground (ground rod)

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