FULL POWER SELECTOR SWITCH
The full power selector switch is on the
control panel. The switch has two posi-
tions: 120 VOLT ONLY, and 120/240 VOLT.
120 VOLT ONLY: This position sends full
power to the 120V receptacles only. 240V
power is not available. Use this position
when powering 120V items only.
BATTERY DISCHARGE LAMP
The battery discharge lamp (See Figure 3,
above) will light if battery charger is not
operating while engine is running. If this
happens, the battery will not charge and
will eventually run down. Have battery
charging circuit repaired by authorized
service person.
120/240 VOLT: This position sends full
power to the 120/240V receptacle. It also
powers the 120V receptacles at reduced
wattage capacity.

Volt Only Position
HOUR METER
The hour meter will measure the total run
time of the generator, including all idle
time. Hour meter is accurate up to 1/10 of
an hour.
ELECTRIC START
A battery is not supplied with generator.
You must provide a 12-volt, 45-amp-hour
battery. For more battery information, see
“Battery,” page 7.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
RECEPTACLE
This generator has a 120-volt ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle. The
GFCI receptacle is on the control panel.
The GFCI protects you against hazardous
IMPORTANT: You
must press the RESET
button firmly and fully.
It should lock into
place. If the GFCI does
not lock into place, do
not use receptacle.
Contact a qualified
electrician for repairs.
If RESET button
does not pop out,
do not use the GFCI receptacle. Contact
a qualified electrician for repairs.
electrical shock caused when your body
becomes a path through which electricity
travels to reach ground. This could happen
when you touch an appliance or cord that
is ‘live’ through faulty mechanism, damp
or worn insulation, etc.
When protected by the GFCI, you may still
feel a shock, but the GFCI should cut it off
quickly. A person in normal health should
not receive serious injury.
NOTE: Infants and very small children may
still be affected.
TEST PROCEDURE
Check the GFCI receptacle every month.
This insures it is working right.
1. Push black TEST button. Red RESET
button should pop out. This should
trip GFCI, resulting in no electrical
power at receptacle. Verify this by
plugging test lamp with good bulb
into receptacle. If lamp does not work,
GFCI receptacle is good.

2. If the GFCI receptacle tests okay, restore
power by pushing the RESET button
back in. The test lamp should work at
this time.
