CONTROL PANEL

A. 120 V, 20 Ampere Duplex Receptacle

This duplex is split so that 20 amps of current may be drawn from each half of the receptacle. However, total power drawn must be kept within nameplate ratings. These receptacles may be used along with the twistlock receptacle provided the generator is not overloaded.

B.120/240 V, 20 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle

A maximum of 20 amps may be drawn from the 120/240

volt receptacle, provided it is the only receptacle used. However, current must be limited to the nameplate rating. If the 120/240 volt receptacle is used along with the 120 volt receptacle, the total load drawn must not exceed the nameplate ratings.

C.Circuit Breakers

The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If

the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem before attempting to use the generator again. If overloading causes the circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load. NOTE:

Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker may cause damage to generator or equipment. The circuit breaker may be reset by pushing the button of the breaker.

D. 120 V, 30 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle

You may draw a maximum of 30 amps or 3600 watts from this receptacle. If other receptacles are used at the same time, total power used must be kept within nameplate ratings.

E.CordKeeper™

The CordKeeper™ is a unique

feature used to prevent plugs from being pulled out of the 120-volt receptacles.
