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
A maximum of 30 amps may be drawn from the 120/240
volt receptacle. 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. 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 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.
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.
G. Digital Hour Meter
• Press and release mode button to toggle between
Total Timer and Timer 1 (TMR1).
• Total Timer displays and records the total hours your
generator has run. Total Timer is not resettable.
• Timer 1 can be used to track operating hours for
service intervals. Timer 1 is resettable by holding the
mode button down for 3 seconds while TMR1 is
displayed.
HEAVY DUTY POWER CORD CONNECTION
CAUTION: Insure that the power cord used is
well insulated and has a sufficient rating to
match that of the plug.
