Figure 3. Generator Components
1. Main Breaker – This 2-pole circuit breaker (120/240V,
21 amps) protects the generator from short circuiting
or overloading. When starting the generator always
have the circuit breaker placed in the "OFF" position.
2. GFCI Breaker – This single pole circuit breaker (120V,
15 amps) protects the GFCI receptacle. When starting
the generator always have the circuit breaker placed
in the "OFF" position.
3. Idle Control Switch – The generator is 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 switch in the "ON" position
(up) for normal operation. To turn-off the generator,
place the operation switch in the "OFF" position (down).
5. 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.
6. Start Button – Press this pushbutton switch to start
the generator.
7. GFCI Duplex Receptacle – NEMA 5-15R, GFCI
receptacle will provide 120V, 15 amps.
8. 120V Output Receptacle – NEMA L5-30R twist-lock
receptacle will provide 120V, 30 amps, 60 Hz.
9. 240V Output Receptacle – NEMA L6-20R twist-lock
receptacle will provide 240V, 20 amps, 60 Hz.
10. Ground – This ground connection point should be
connect to a good earth ground (ground rod).
11. Battery – This generator is equipped with a 12 VDC
battery. Replace with only recommended type battery.
