Connecting the Load
1. If small wattage power tools are required, connect them
to the 60 Hz output receptacles at this time.
GDP-5H — INITIAL START-UP/GENERATOR OPERATION
180 Hz Operation
1. Place the 180 Hz, 12.5 amp circuit breaker (Figure 23)
in the ON position.
5. Read the
voltmeter
on the front panel of the generator
(Figure 22) and verify that 240 VAC is present at the
240V twist-lock receptacle. Using an external voltmeter
verify that 120V is present at the at the 120V twist-lock
and GFCI duplex receptacles.
Figure 22. 60 Hz Output Receptacles
When the full power switch is in the 240
volt (down) position, you can take up to
half of the rated power
of the generating
set at 120 volts from the GFCI duplex
receptacle and up to half of the rated power of the set at 120
volts from the 120V twist-lock receptacle; or full rated power
of the genset at 240 volts from the 240V twist-lock
receptacle.
When using a combination of dual
receptacles, total load should not exceed
the rated capacity of the generator.
NOTE
NOTE
5. Use an external voltmeter to measure the 230 VAC output
voltage on the 180 Hz twist-lock receptacles as shown
in Figure 24.

Connecting the Load
1. If high-cycle vibrators are going to be used, connect
them to the 180 Hz output receptacles at this time.
When using the 180 Hz output receptacles,
the AC voltmeter on the generator cannot
be used for monitoring of the 3-phase
voltage.
