120 VAC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex
Receptacle (if equipped)
The 120 Volt outlet is overload protected by a

ure 2-4. Each receptacle will power 120 Volt
AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads
requiring up to 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). It also pro-
vides protection with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter with a press to TEST and RESET
button.

Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60
Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 3600
watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps or 240
Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring
up to 7200 watts (7.2 kW) of power at 30
Amps. The outlet is protected by two 25 Amp
(5.5kW), or two 30 Amp (6.5kW) push-to-

Extension Cord

Your generator comes with a 20 foot extension
cord for connecting appliances and other elec-
trical devices to the generator.
Fig-
The colored dots on the extension cord are
indicators for evenly applying the loads to the
generator. For example, if two electrical
devices are plugged in, place one into a red
labeled outlet (A) and the other into a blue
labeled outlet (B), rather than two red or two
blue outlets. See
000203

Idle Control Switch

This switch operates the engine at normal
(high) rpm when there is an electrical load
present and automatically 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.

Hour Meter

The Hour Meter tracks hours of operation for
scheduled maintenance. See
• The SVC display will illuminate one hour
When the hour meter is in flash alert mode,
the maintenance message will 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 automatically resets.
• 100 hours - SVC — Change oil, oil filter, air
NOTE: The hour glass icon will flash when the
engine is running. This signifies the meter is
