CONTROL PANEL

A.120 Volt GFCI Receptacle

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter duplex receptacle is rated

so that a total of 20 amps may be drawn regardless of whether both halves or just one receptacle is used. This receptacle may be used along with other receptacles provided the generator is not overloaded and total power drawn is kept within nameplate ratings.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

(Conforms to U.L 943, Class A and NEC requirements) This device protects you against hazardous electrical shock that may be caused if your body becomes a path through which electricity travels to reach ground. This could happen when you touch an appliance or cord that is “ live “ through faulty mechanism, damp or worn insulation, etc.

B.120 Volt, 30 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle You may draw a maximum of 30 amps from this

receptacle. If other receptacles are used at the same time, total power used must be kept within nameplate ratings.

C.120/240 Volt Heavy Duty Receptacle

This receptacle is rated at 50 amps but the current must be

limited to the nameplate rating. If this receptacle is used along with the 120 volt receptacles, the total load drawn must not exceed the nameplate ratings.

D.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.

E.Idle Control Switch

The Idle Control circuit is designed to extend engine life

and improve fuel usage by slowing the engine down to approximately 2000 RPM in a “No Load” condition. The noise is also greatly reduced during this condition.

When power is required from the generator an electronic control module automatically senses current flow in the electrical outlet and allows the engine to return to full speed or standard operating condition. Likewise, when the load is removed, the generator will automatically return to the idle condition after a 4-5 second delay.

A convenient switch is mounted in the control panel for easy access and will disable the Idle Control circuitry when in the off position.

NOTE: A 12V battery must be installed in order for the idle control to function.

F.CordKeeper™ Restraint

The CordKeeper™ restraint is a unique

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

POWER CORD CONNECTIONS

Refer to the appropriate diagram for proper connection of power cord wires to the plug terminals.

CAUTION: Insure that the power cord used is well insulated and has a sufficient rating to match that of the plug.
