AC Circuit Breaker
The generator comes equipped with circuit
breakers that protect the unit and the load from
short circuit or overload conditions. If the circuit
breaker opens, determine why the circuit breaker
tripped before closing the circuit breaker again.
CSA Circuit Breaker (If equipped)
240V portable generators sold in Canada come
with an additional circuit breaker that will isolate
all outlets on the panel. This breaker must be in
the “On” position for the unit to provide power.
Low Oil Level Shutdown
The generator is equipped with a low oil level
shutdown that is designed to protect the engine
from damage caused by an insufficient amount
of oil in the crankcase. When the oil level in the
crankcase falls below the safe operating limit,
the low oil level shutdown will automatically
shut off the engine.
120 VAC, 20 Amp, Duplex
The 120 VAC duplex receptacle is protected
against overload by a 20 Amp push to reset
circuit breaker. Use the receptacle to power a
NEMA 5-20, 120 VAC, single phase, 60 Hz
electrical load requiring 20 Amps of current.
Use only high quality, well insulated, 3-wire
grounded cords rated for 125 V at 20 Amps (or
greater). Keep extension cords as short as
possible (less than 15 feet) to prevent voltage
drop and overheating of wires.
120/240 VAC, 30 Amp, Locking
The 120/240 VAC locking outlet is protected
against overload by two 23 Amp (RP5500), two
28 Amp (RP6500 E), or two 31 Amp (RP7500 E)
push to reset circit breakers. Use a NEMA L5-30
(120 VAC outlets) or NEMA L14-30 (240 VAC
outlets) plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock
or unlock). Use the receptacle to power a 120
VAC, single phase, 60 Hz, or a 240 VAC, single
phase, 60 Hz electrical load requiring 30 Amps
of current.
RV Receptacle
The 120 VAC RV outlet is protected against
overload by a 27 Amp push to reset circit
breaker. Use a NEMA TT-30 (120 VAC outlets)
plug with this receptacle. Use the receptacle to
power a 120 VAC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical
load requiring 30 Amps of current.
