GDP-5H — CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
1. 230V Output Receptacles– These three NEMA 7410
twist-lock receptacles will provide 230V, 12.5 amps,
180 Hz.
2. 180 Hz Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker – This 3-pole
earth leakage circuit breaker allows the circuit to be broken
when the load side shorts or there is an over-current
condition. In addition, during operation of the generator it
can detect when there is defective insulation on the load
side and breaks the circuit in response. When starting the
generator
always
have the circuit breaker placed in the
"OFF" position.
3. 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.
4. 60 Hz Circuit Breaker – This 2-pole circuit breaker (240/
15 amps or 120/30 amps) protects the generator from short
circuiting or overloading. When starting the generator
always
have the circuit breaker placed in the "OFF"
position.
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.
This meter cannot be used for 180 Hz applications.

6. Idle Control Switch – This 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.
7. Operation Switch – Place this
rocker
switch in the "ON"
position (up) for normal operation. To turn-off the generator
place this switch in the "OFF" position (down).
8. GFCI Duplex Receptacle – This NEMA 5-20R, GFCI
receptacle will provide 120V, 20 amps.
9. Ground – This ground connection point should be connect
to a good earth ground (ground rod).
10. 240V Output Receptacle – This
NEMA L6-20R twist-
lock receptacle will provide 240V, 15 amps, 60 Hz.
11. 120V Output Receptacle – This NEMA L5-30R twist-
lock receptacle will provide 120V, 30 amps, 60 Hz.
