Figure 3A. Generator Components
5. Start Switch – Press this
pushbutton
switch to start the
generators.
6. GFCI Duplex Receptacle – This NEMA 5-20R, GFCI
receptacle will provide 120V, 20 amps.(There are two on
the GA- 6HEA.)
7. 120V Output Receptacle –
NEMA L5-20R twist-lock
receptacle will provide 120V, 20 amps, 60 Hz.
8. 120V Output Receptacle – NEMA L5-30R twist-lock
receptacle will provide (120V, 30 amps, 60 Hz.)
9. 120V/240V Output Receptacle – NEMA L14-30R twist-
lock receptacle will provide (120V, 50 amps, or 240V,
25 amps, 60 Hz.)
10. Main Breaker – This 2-pole circuit breaker (240V/25 amps
or 120V/50 amps) protects the generator from short
circuiting or overloading. When starting the generator
always
have the circuit breaker placed in the "OFF"
position.
11. Ground – This ground connection point should be
connect to a good earth ground (ground rod)
12. Battery – This unit is equipped with a 12 VDC battery.
Replace with only recommended type battery.
1. Lifting Bail Eye – Attach a rope or chain to this lifting eye
when lifting of the generator is required. Never stand
underneath the generator while it is being lifted. Place lifting
eye in down position when not in use.
2. AC-Voltmeter – This voltmeter indicates (with a mark) the
rated 60 Hz (single-phase) output voltage. In addition the
voltmeter can also be used as a diagnostic tool. If the
voltmeter indicator (needle) is below the rated voltage,
engine problems may exist (low/high RPM's). To prevent
damage to the generator or power tools turn the generator
OFF and consult your authorized Multiquip service dealer.
3. Idle Control Switch – These generators are provided with
an automatic idle control device for noise suppression and
reduced fuel consumption. The automatic idle control
automatically engages under a no-load condition. With the
automatic idle control switched “ON”, the engine revolutions
will automatically drop to about 2600 rpm (low-speed
operation) within 3 seconds after the load stops. When the
operation is resumed, the engine speed is automatically
increased to about 3600 rpm (high-speed operation) as
soon as the load is connected.
4. Operation Switch – Place this
toggle
switch in the "ON"
position (up) for normal operation. To turn-off the generator,
place the operation switch in the "OFF" position (down).
