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.
