A.120 V, 20 Ampere Duplex Receptacle

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, 30 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle

A maximum of 30 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.Engine On/Off Switch

E.CordKeeper™ Restraint

The CordKeeper™ restraint is a unique feature used to

prevent plugs from being pulled out of the receptacles.

F.SERVTECH™ Generator Maintenance System

The SERVTECH™ Generator Maintenance System is a feature only on select Generator models manufactured by Powermate®.

At a glance, the user can instantly see the status of the most common maintenance items, such as air filter, engine oil and spark plug. The SERVTECH™ Maintenance Timers, alert you when maintenance is required for your generator to maintain optimum

performance. The display also indicates the time since last user maintenance reset and the total accumulated run time of the generator. In addition, to ensure safety and proper maintenance, tips scroll across to help users in generator service and operation.

HOUR METER - This indicates the total number of hours the generator has run since manufacture. This timer cannot be reset.

MAINTENANCE TIMERS (must be manually reset by the user after performing the indicated maintenance):

•Air Filter - This indicates the total number of hours the generator has run since the last air filter maintenance. The timer begins flashing at the suggested 50 hour interval, with the message "CHECK AIR FILTER", and will continue to flash until the user resets the timer with the convenient Reset Button.

•Engine Oil - This indicates the total number of hours the generator has run since the engine oil was last changed. The timer begins flashing at the suggested 100 hour interval, with the message "CHANGE OIL", and will continue to flash until the user resets the timer with the convenient Reset Button.

•Spark Plug - This indicates the total number of hours the generator has run since the last spark plug maintenance. This timer begins flashing at the suggested 100 hour interval, with the message "CHECK SPARK PLUG", and will continue to flash until the user resets the timer with the convenient Reset Button.

Note: Under extreme conditions, such as dirty, dusty and extreme temperatures, the engine manufacturer may recommend more frequent maintenance, than suggested by the timer intervals listed above. Please read the manufacturer's manual and always perform the required maintenance schedule as listed by the engine manufacturer.

RESET - When the user performs the suggested maintenance and wants to reset the Maintenance Timer, the Reset Button must be pressed and held for 3 seconds, under the field indicated on the display. The display indicates "HOLD TO RESET" while the Reset Button is pressed.

Engine Start - Each time the engine and generator is started, the display will warn the user of potential life threatening danger. It will display "*** DANGER! CARBON MONOXIDE - READ MANUAL". This message scrolls across the screen for 2 minutes.

Warm Up - A second message will then be displayed after the Engine Start event, suggesting to the user that they "PLUG IN LOADS, LARGEST LOAD FIRST".

This message will again scroll across the screen for 2 minutes.

After the Warm Up message, no message will be displayed until the next Maintenance Timer message.
