capability to recharge a 12 volt DC storage battery with provided 
battery charge cables.

2.  120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacle – Supplies electrical 

power for the operation of 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, single-phase, 60 
Hz electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads.

3.  120 Volt AC, 20A Duplex GFCI Receptacle – Supplies ground 

fault protected electrical power for operation of 120 volt AC 20 
amp, single-phase, 60 Hz electric lighting, appliances, tools and 
motor loads.

of control panel)– Supplies electrical power for the operation of 
120/240 Volt AC, 50 Amp, single-phase, 60 Hz, welder or motor 
loads.

7. Air Cleaner – Filters intake air as it is drawn into the engine.
8. Choke Knob – Used when starting a cold engine.
9. Winter/Summer Valve – See “Cold Weather Operation/De-icer” 

section.

10. Circuit  Breakers (AC) – Each receptacle is provided with a push-

to-reset circuit breaker to protect the generator against electrical 
overload. (50 amp uses toggle reset)

11. Fuel Tank – Tank holds 16 U.S. gallons of fuel.
12. Grounding  Lug – Ground the generator to an approved earth 

ground here. See "Grounding the Generator" for details.

13. Idle Control Switch – The idle control runs the engine at normal 

(high) speeds when there is an electrical load present and runs 
the engine at idle (low) speeds when a load is not present.

14. Start/Run/Stop  Switch – Controls the operation of the 

generator.

15. Oil  Fill – Use this point to add oil to engine.
16. Fuse - 10 Amp (Located at rear of control panel) – Protects the 

DC control circuit from overload. If this fuse element has melted 
open the engine will not be able to crank and start.
