2.3 CONTROL FUNCTIONS
AC Circuit Breakers
While the generator is running, the breakers should be in the ON position.
If the current has exceeded its limits the breaker will automatically pop
out to the OFF position. Reduce the electrical load on the generator and
push the button back to the ON position.
Battery Charging Port (HG8750, HG12,000)
When the generator will be stored for an extended period of time plug the
battery charger into a 120V outlet every two months to top up the battery
and prolong its life.
Ground Terminal
WARNING!
Before using the ground terminal consult a qualified electrician, electrical
inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction for local laws and codes that
apply to the intended use of the generator.
Neutral bonded to frame. The ground terminal is connected to the non-
current carrying metal parts (such as the fuel tank), the frame, and the
ground terminals of the AC outlets.
Hour Meter (HG6250, HG8750, HG12,000)
Always on display shows total run time. Perform maintenance at the
proper intervals according to the 'Maintenance Schedule' section of this
manual using the total life run time.
Low Oil Indicator Light
The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by
an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the
crankcase reaches an unsafe limit, the oil alert system will automatically
shut down the engine (the power switch remains in the ON position).
If the oil alert system shuts down the engine, the low oil indicator light
(red) will turn on. Check the engine oil level.
Voltage Selector (HG4950)
When the switch is set to 240V, the generator will produce both 120 and
240 volt output but only half the power will be available for any 120 volt
receptacle. Full power is available from the 240 volt receptacle in this
position.
When the voltage selector is set to 120V, full power is available from any
120 volt receptacle.
