Instruction Manual for Portable Generator 9
Operation
Know the Generator
Carefully read the Instruction Manual and Safety Rules
before operating the generator. Save this manual for
future reference.
Become familiar with locations of all components.
1. 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp GFCI Duplex Outlets – Supplies
electrical power for the operation of 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp,
single-phase, 60 Hz, electrical lighting, appliance, tool and
motor loads. It also provides protection with an integral
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, complete with a press to
TEST and RESET button (NEMA 5-20R).
2. 120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp Locking Receptacle – Supplies
electrical power for operation of 120 and/or 240 Volt AC, 30
Amp, single-phase, 60 Hz, electrical lighting, appliance, tool
and motor loads (NEMA L14-30R).
3. Circuit Breakers (AC) – Models with 120V receptacles pro-
vide a push-to-reset circuit breaker to protect the generator
against electrical overload. Models with 240V Twistlock
receptacles provide 2-pole circuit breakers.
4. Oil Drain – Use to drain engine oil.
5. Air Filter – Filters intake air as it is drawn into the engine.
6. Choke Lever – Used when starting a cold engine.
7. Fuel Tank – See
Product Specifications for tank
capacity.
8. Grounding Lug – Ground the generator to an approved
earth ground here. See
Grounding Generator If Used
as Portable
for details.
9. Start/Run/Stop Switch – Used to start engine from the
starter motor (electric start models only). Must be in Run
position to start manually.
10. Muffler – Quiets the engine.
11. Handle – Pivot and retract for storage. Press the spring-
loaded button to move handle.
12. Gas Cap – Fuel fill location.
13. Oil Fill – Add and check oil here.
14. Recoil Starter – Use to start engine manually.
15. Fuel Shut Off – Valve between fuel tank and carburetor.
16. Roll Over Valve – Passes fuel vapors to the engine airbox.
17. Recovery Hose – Install between the carbon canister and
the roll over valve (if equipped).
18. Battery Charger Input – This receptacle allows the capa-
bility to recharge the 12 volt DC storage battery provided
with the 12 Volt Adaptor Plug Charger which is included in
the Accessory Box. Located behind the battery charger
input is a 1.50 Amp in-line fuse which is inside the control
panel to protect the battery (electric start models only).
19. Battery – Powers the electric starter (electric start models
only).
20. Wattage Meter – Indicates the amount of power being used
from the generator (8000W models only).
21. Runtime Meter – Displays the total unit run hours for a
short duration before providing available run time given the
load currently applied, and remaining fuel volume.
Operate unit on level ground for runtime
meter accuracy.
22. Idle Control Switch – Operates the engine at normal (high)
rpm when there is an electrical load present and automati-
cally reduces the engine to a lower rpm when a load is not
present. The system can also be turned off to operate the
engine at a higher rpm at all times.
23. Hour Meter – Tracks hours of operation for scheduled
maintenance.
