Outlets
120 VAC, Duplex Outlet
The 120 volt outlet is overload protected by the 20 amp
push button circuit protector (Fig. C).

120 VAC, 30 Amp Outlet
Use a NEMA L5-30R plug with this outlet. Connect a suit-
able 3-wire cord set to the plug and to desired load. The
cord set should be rated for 125 volts AC at 30 amps (or
greater) (Fig. D).
Use this outlet to operate 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, single-
phase loads requiring up to 3300 Watts, 27.5 amps start-
ing power and 2500 Watts of continuous power at 20.83
amps. The outlet is protected by a 20 amp push-to-reset
circuit breaker.

Start Dial (OFF/RUN/CHOKE)
This controls the ON/OFF functions, choke, and fuel
valve operation (Fig. E).
• The OFF position
1
stops the engine and shuts off fuel
flow.
• The RUN position
2
is for normal operation and to
gradually reduce the use of the choke.
• The CHOKE position
3
switches the fuel valve on to
start the engine.
NOTE: CHOKE is not required to start a warm engine.

USB Outlets
The 1A/2.1A, 5 VDC USB outlets allow charging of com-
patible electronic devices.
Generator Status Lights
See Fig. F.
• Overload LED (red): Indicates system overload
2
.
During motor starting, it is normal for the overload LED
to illuminate for a few seconds. If LED stays illuminated
and the ready LED turns off, the engine will continue to
run without output power. Remove all applied loads
and determine if attached devices exceed recom-
mended output power. Inspect for faulty or shorted con-
nections. To restore electrical output, rotate Start Dial
OFF to reset. Start engine. If condition was corrected, the
red LED will not illuminate and electrical output will be
restored. Loads can be applied once the green LED illu-
minates. If the red LED returns, contact a Service Dealer.
• Low Oil Level LED (yellow): Illuminates when oil level is
below safe operating level. Engine shuts down
1
.
• Power LED (green): Indicates output from generator
3
(unless there is a low oil or overload condition).

Circuit Breakers
The AC receptacles are protected by an AC circuit
breaker. If the generator is overloaded or an external
short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker will trip. If this
occurs, disconnect all electrical loads to determine the
cause of the problem before using the generator again.
Reduce the load if the circuit breaker is tripped.
NOTE: Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker may
caus
e damage to generator or equipment.
Push the button of the breaker to reset circuit breaker.
