General Information
8 5,500 Watt LP Series Portable Generator
2.6 — Connection Plugs
2.6.1 — 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 2-9). Use each socket to power 120
Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a com-
bined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Use only high qual-
ity, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for 125 Volts at 20
Amps (or greater). Each outlet is protected by a 1-pole, 20 Amp,
push-button circuit breaker.
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than 15
feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of wires.

2.6.2 — 120/240 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14-30P 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 2-10).
Figure 2-10: 120/240 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads
requiring up to 3000 watts (3.0 kW) of power at 25 Amps or 240 Volt
AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 5500 watts (5.5 kW) of
power at 22.9 Amps. The outlet is protected by a 2-pole 25 Amp
rocker type circuit breaker.
2.7 — Hourmeter
The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled maintenance
(Figure 2-11):
There will be a "CHG OIL" message every 100 hours. The message
will flash one hour before and one hour after each 100 hour interval,
providing a two hour window to perform service.
This message will actually begin flashing at 99 hours and disable itself
at 101 hours again, providing a two hour window to perform the ser-
vice.
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 per-
form service.
Figure 2-11: Hourmeter
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 — Service Air Filter (Every 200 hrs)
NOTE:
The hour glass graphic will flash on and off when the engine
is running. This signifies that the meter is tracking hours
of operation.
