Operation
Customer Convenience
Receptacles (If Equipped)
See Figure 3-59. The unit may be equipped with a 120V,
20 A, GFCI, duplex receptacle; for powering accessories
or tools.
Figure 3-59. Customer Convenience Receptacles
The receptacles, and a corresponding circuit breaker, are
located on the control panel. See Figure 2-11.
The receptacles are operable when the engine is running
and the main circuit breaker is ON (I).
Load Limit and Overload
•
Lights on: Load limit = 1,100 W
• Lights off: Load limit = 1,200 W
Drawing more than the load limit overloads the generator,
resulting in main circuit breaker trip. If the breaker trips,
switch off the lights and remove some load from the
receptacle.
Removing Loads from
Receptacles (If Equipped)
When shutting down the unit, remove loads from
receptacles as follows.
1. Notify personnel using unit-supplied power that
shutdown is pending.
2. Verify shutdown will not create hazards (by turning
off equipment that needs to remain running, such
as pumps and compressors).
3. Remove loads from receptacles.
Storing the Unit
Disconnect the battery if the unit will be stored for an
extended period. Refer to the engine operator’s manual
for additional extended storage procedures.
Lowering the Mast—Manual
Winch
1. Shut down the lights and engine. See Shutting
Down Unit—Analog Controls.
2. Lower the mast.
3. Use the winch handles to collapse the mast to its
lowest position. Verify the electrical cord does not
get caught in, or pinched by, the mast while it is
being lowered.
.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Contact a GMASD immediately
if the mast hangs up or the winch cable develops
slack.
4.
See
Figure 3-60
