13.Refer to the AC voltmeter (Figure 19) on the control box. The voltage indicated on the voltmeter should be 240 VAC with no load applied. If desired, verify with a voltmeter that 240V is present at the NEMA L14-20R twist-lock receptacle. In addition verify that 120VAC is present at the NEMA 5-20R GFCI duplex receptacle and the two NEMA L5-20R, L5-30R twist-lock receptacles.

3.Place the main circuit breaker (Figure 21) in the ON position.

When the full power switch is

NOTE in the 240V (down) position, up to half of the rated power of the

generator is available at the 120V GFCI duplex receptacle, L5-20R and L5-30R twist-lock

receptacles; or full rated power can be obtained at the L14-20R (240V) receptacle. Rembmber, when using a combination of dual receptacles, total load should not exceed the rated capacity of the generator.

Connecting the Load

1.Connect the load to the desired voltage output receptacle.

2.Place the idle control switch (Figure 20) in the ON position (Up).
