CONTROL PANEL
A. 120/240 V, 30 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle
A maximum of 30 amps may be drawn from the 120/240
volt receptacle, provided it is the only receptacle used.
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.
B. Idle Control Switch
Some models are equipped with an idle control switch.
(See Idle Control).
C. 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.
D. Hour Meter
An hour meter is provided to keep track of run time of the
unit. This may be used to track maintenance schedules.

E. Voltmeter
Provides visual indication of generator output voltage from
0-300 volts.
F.
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 th 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 both 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.
G. 120 V, 30 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle
You may draw a maximum of 30 amps or 3600 watts from
this receptacle. If other receptacles are used at the same time,
total power used must be kept within nameplate ratings.
H. CordKeeper™
The CordKeeper™ is a unique
feature used to prevent plugs from
being pulled out of the 120-volt
receptacles.

Battery Charger
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH GEL PACK,
SEALED OR SMALL (MOTORCYCLE) BATTERIES.
These generators contain an additional circuit used for
battery charging purposes. A double binding post is provided
on the control panel. The battery charger on this generator is
referred to as an unregulated taper charger - the most widely
used in the market today. The amount of current flowing will
depend on the charging voltage and battery's state of charge.
As the on-charge output current to the battery decreases, the
output current to the battery increases and nearly becomes
constant. Taper chargers are intended to be used with the
provision that they will be disconnected from the battery after a
maximum time on charge. Normally a period of 30 to 120
minutes is sufficient to recharge a weak battery. The charge
level of the battery should be checked periodically.
CAUTION: This battery charging system is
intended to recharge weak batteries, not to
"boost start" vehicles. Do not overcharge
battery or leave battery unattended.
Note: When the battery charger circuit is in use, the AC
capacity is reduced by 180 watts. Make sure the combined
load is within the rated limits.
Before charging a storage battery, check the electrolyte
fluid level in all the cells. Add distilled water to each cell, if
necessary, to bring the level back up to the manufacturer's
required level.
WARNING: Storage batteries give off
EXPLOSIVE hydrogen gas while charging.
Do not allow smoking, open flames,sparks,
or spark producing equipment in the area
while charging.
