2.2 HOURMETER - WITH RESET
The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled maintenance
(see chart) (Figure 10).
Operation: Push and release the reset button to toggle between
screens. The hours count backwards from the set interval as
shown in the chart.
When the meter reaches 5 hours,the text "CHG OIL" (or "SVC AIR
FILTER" or "CHG PLUG") will flash continually for two minutes.
After this time, the meter will go back to displaying the total hours
of the unit (for 2 minutes). This cyle will repeat for the entire 5
hours.
When the service interval reaches zero hours, the text "NOW"
replaces the hours remaining.
For a new generator for instance, the message will say "CHG OIL"
then flash "in 30". This means that in 30 hours, the oil will need to
be changed. Pressing the button a few more times will bring the
meter back to the screen that shows the total hours run.
Reset: Toggle to the alert that you wish to reset then hold the
button down for 9 seconds. The maintenance hours are reset when
the display shows "0000.0".
The hour glass graphic will flash on and off when the engine
is running. This signifies that the meter is tracking hours of
operation.

2.3 CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS
2.3.1 120 VAC, 20 AMP, DUPLEX RECEPTACLE
This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 20 Amp
push-to-reset circuit breaker (Figure 11). 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, preferably less than
15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of
wires.
Figure 101- 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacle
2.3.2 120/240 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock/
unlock). Connect a suitable 4-wire grounded cord set to the plug
and to the desired load. The cord set should be rated for 250 Volts
AC at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 12).
