1.Main Breaker – 2-pole, 15 amp circuit breaker protects the generator from short circuiting or overloading. When starting the generator always have circuit breaker placed in the OFF position.

2.Idle Control Switch – The generator is 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.

3.Operation Switch – Place switch in ON position (up) for normal operation. To turn-off the generator, place switch in OFF position (down).

4.AC-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 due to low output voltage, turn the generator OFF and consult your authorized Multiquip service dealer.

5.240V Output Receptacle – NEMA L6-20Rtwist-lock receptacle will provide 240V @ 20 amps, 60 Hz.

6.GFCI Ground – GFCI ground connection point.

7.120V Output Receptacle – NEMA L5-30Rtwist-lock receptacle will provide 120V @ 30 amps, 60 Hz.

8.GFCI Duplex Receptacle – NEMA 5-15R, GFCI receptacle will provide 120V @ 15 amps.

9.Chassis Ground – This ground connection point should be connected to a good earth ground (ground rod).
