2.2 HOURMETER
The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled
maintenance:
There will be a subsequent "CHG OIL" message every 100 hours.
The message will flash one hour before and one hour after each
100 hour interval, again providing a two hour window to perform
service.
Every 200 hours the "SVC" icon on the lower left hand corner of
the display will flash. The message will flash one hour before and
one hour after each 200 hour interval providing a two hour window
to perform service.
When the hour meter is in the Flash Alert mode, the maintenance
message will always alternate with elapsed time in hours and
tenths. The hours will flash four times, then alternate with the
maintenance message four times until the meter resets itself.
• 100 hours - CHG OIL — Oil Change Interval (Every 100 hrs)
• 200 hours - SVC — Air Filter Interval (Every 200 hrs)
2.3 CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS
2.3.1 120 VAC, 20 AMP, GFCI DUPLEX RECEPTACLE
This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 20 Amp
push-to-reset circuit breaker (Figure 6). Use each socket to power
120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a
combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Use only
high quality, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for
125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
Keep extension cords as short as possible to prevent voltage drop
and possible overheating of wires.
