Operating the Tower Lights
WARNING
Optical Hazard
Looking at illuminated light fixtures could result in serious
injury. Never look directly at illuminated light fixtures.
Turning the Lights On
The tower lights will automatically turn on after the engine
is started. (There is a 20-second delay built into the
electrical system.) However, the main light breaker or
individual light switches may be set to OFF.
•
Turn on the main light breaker (A, Figure 24) (if set to
OFF).
•
Turn on individual light switches (B, Figure 19) (1 -
24, if set to OFF).
The breaker / switches may also be used if manual and
individual light control is desired.
Turning the Lights Off
Shut down the engine to turn the lights off. See
Operating the Engine. (The lights can also be turned off
manually. See Turning the Lights On.)

Auxiliary AC Outlet
Auxiliary AC outlets (A, B, and C, Figure 25) are located
on the right rear of the machine. Each outlet is protected
by a spring- loaded cover.
Note: Outlets may differ according to model.
Power is supplied to the outlet(s) only when the engine is
running and the main circuit breaker (D, Figure 25) is in
the ON position.
Note: The electrical system is designed with a 20-second
delay after the engine starts before the lights and auxiliary
AC outlet(s) will operate.
Each outlet is protected by a dedicated circuit breaker (E,
F, and G, Figure 25) found on the Light / AC Outlet Circuit
Breaker Control Panel.
Note: Circuit breakers differ according to outlets provided.
If a Breaker Trips
1. Disconnect the load from the outlet.
2. Shut down the engine.
3. Wait 10 minutes for the generator to cool down.
4. Correct the load problem.
5. Start the engine.
6. Reset the breaker.
Note: Be sure to also check the GFCI breaker on the
GFCI outlet (if equipped), and reset if necessary.
7. Reconnect the load.
8. If the problem persists, see Troubleshooting.
