Figure 3. Generator Components

1.Main Breaker – This 2-pole circuit breaker (120/240V, 21 amps) protects the generator from short circuiting or overloading. When starting the generator always have the circuit breaker placed in the "OFF" position.

2.GFCI Breaker – This single pole circuit breaker (120V, 15 amps) protects the GFCI receptacle.When starting the generator always have the circuit breaker placed in the "OFF" position.

3.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.

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

5.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.

6.Start Button – Press this pushbutton switch to start the generator.

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

8.120V Output Receptacle – NEMA L5-30Rtwist-lock receptacle will provide 120V, 30 amps, 60 Hz.

9.240V Output Receptacle – NEMA L6-20Rtwist-lock receptacle will provide 240V, 20 amps, 60 Hz.
