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.

The GFCI receptacle cannot be reset once tripped, unless the generator is running and power is available to it. Test regularly to assure proper operation.

B.120/240 V, 30 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle

Maximum full load current may be drawn from the 120/240

volt receptacle, provided it is the only receptacle used. Total 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.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.

D.CordKeeper™ Restraint

The CordKeeper™ restraint is a unique feature used to prevent plugs from being pulled out of the receptacles.

E.Circuit Protectors

The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit protector. If

the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs, the circuit protector 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 protector to trip, reduce the load. NOTE:

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

F.Engine On/Off Switch

G.Idle Control Switch

The Idle Control circuit is designed to extend engine life

and improve fuel usage by slowing the engine down to approximately 2200 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.

POWER CORD CONNECTIONS

Refer to the 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.
