Output Terminal Panel
The output control panel is located on the rear (control panel)
end of the generator. The UNV lugs are protected by a face
plate cover that can be secured in the close position by a
pad lock.
120 Volt Receptacle
One GFCI Duplex NEMA 5-20R (120V, 20 Amp) receptacle
is located on the output terminal. This receptacle can be
used anytime the generator is in operation. The receptacle
is controlled by the circuit breaker located on the control
panel.
The reset button will reset the receptacle after being tripped.
Pressing the :Test Button (Figure 8) in the center of this
receptacle will check the GFCI function. The receptacle
