120 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle
See
2-4. Use a NEMA L5-30R plug with
Figure
this receptacle. Connect a suitable 3-wire cord
set to the plug and to desired load. The cord
set should be rated for 125 Volts AC at 30
Amps (or greater).
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC,
60Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 2500
watts of continuous power at 20.83 Amps. The
outlet is protected by a 22 Amp push-to-reset
circuit breaker.

PowerDial™
See
Figure
2-5. This controls the ON/OFF
functions, choke and fuel valve operation.
• The OFF position (1) stops the engine and
shuts off fuel flow.
• The RUN position (2) is for normal opera-
tion and to gradually reduce the use of the
choke.
• The CHOKE position (3) switches the fuel
valve on to start the engine.
NOTE: The CHOKE is not required to start a
warm engine.

Economy Switch
The economy (ECO) switch has two (2)
modes of operation:
• On: The quietest mode and best when run-
ning appliances or equipment that are
resistive loads (non-motor starting), (exam-
ple: TV, video game, light, radio).
• Off: Best when running a both inductive
(motor-starting) and resistive (non-motor
starting) loads, especially when these loads
are turning on and off (example: RV, air
conditioner, hairdryer).
Generator Status Lights
See
Figure
• Overload LED (
overload (2). During motor starting it is nor-
mal for the overload LED to illuminate for a
few seconds. If LED stays illuminated and
the ready LED turns off, the engine will con-
tinue to run without output power. Remove
all applied loads and determine if attached
devices
power. Check for faulty or shorted connec-
tions. To restore electrical output, turn dial
OFF to reset. Start engine. If condition was
000844
corrected, the red LED will not illuminate
and electrical output will be restored. Loads
can be applied once the green LED illumi-
nates. If the red LED returns, contact an
IASD.
• Low Oil Level LED (red): Illuminates when
oil level is below safe operating level.
Engine shuts down (1).
• Power LED (green): Indicates output from
generator (3) (unless there is a low oil or
overload condition).
