AC Circuit Breaker
The generator comes equipped with circuit
bre
akers 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.
240 VAC Circuit Breaker
T
he 240V receptacles come with an additional
circuit breaker that will isolate these outlets on
the panel. This breaker must be in the “On”
position for the unit to provide power.
Low Oil Level Shutdown
T
he 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
ag
ainst 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
T
he 120 VAC locking outlet is protected against
ov
erload by a 30 Amp push to reset circuit
breaker. The 120/240 VAC locking outlet is
protected against overload by a 30 Amp double
pole circuit breaker. Use a NEMA L5-30 (120
VAC outlets) or NEMA L14-30 (120/240 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.
120/240 VAC, 50 Amp
T
he 120/240 VAC outlet is protected against
ov
erload by a 48 Amp double pole circit breaker.
Use a NEMA L14-50 plug with this receptacle.
Use the receptacle to power a 120 VAC or a 240
VAC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical load
requiring 50 Amps of current.
