Electric motors need higher starting
current. They require up to 3-times their
rated wattage to start. The starting current
needed may be too high. This can cause
nuisance circuit breaker tripping. To help
prevent this, start electric motors first.
Connect additional items to generator
after starting motors. If this continues to
happen, reduce the total generator load.
HOUR METER
The hour meter is on the control panel.
The hour meter shows the total amount of
time the generator has run (See Figure 7).
Use the time on the hour meter as a guide
for servicing the generator.
Assembly

All models except 5U935A have a full
power selector switch on the control
panel. The switch has two positions: 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.
120/240 VOLT: This position sends full
power to the 120/240V receptacle. It also
powers the 120V receptacles at reduced
wattage capacity.

RECEPTACLE CIRCUIT BREAKER
All models have four circuit breakers. The
circuit breakers protect the receptacles and
alternator. Overloading generator will trip
circuit breaker. A short circuit in item being
powered will also trip breaker. If this
occurs, unplug electrical load from
receptacle. Let circuit breaker cool down.
Push circuit breaker button to reset.
