2.2 HOURMETER
The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled
maintenance:

There will be a "CHG OIL" message every 100 hours. The message
will flash one hour before and one hour after each 100 hour
interval, again providing a two hour window to perform service.

This message will actually begin flashing at 99 hours and disable
itself at 101 hours providing a two hour window to perform the
service.
Every 200 hours the "SVC" icon on the lower left hand corner of
Every 200 hours the "SVC" icon on the lower left hand corner of
the display will flash. The message will flash one hour before and
one hour after each 200 hour interval providing a two hour window
to perform service.
When the hour meter is in the Flash Alert mode, the maintenance
When the hour meter is in the Flash Alert mode, the maintenance
message will always alternate with elapsed time in hours and
tenths. The hours will flash four times, then alternate with the
maintenance message four times until the meter resets itself.

2.3 CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS
2.3.1 120 VAC, 20 AMP, DUPLEX RECEPTACLE
This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 20 Amp
push-to-reset circuit breaker (Figure 7). Use each socket to power
120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a
combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Use only
high quality, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for
125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than
15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of
wires.
Figure 7 - 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacle
2.3.2 120/240 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock/
unlock). Connect a suitable 4-wire grounded cord set to the plug
and to the desired load. The cord set should be rated for 250 Volts
AC at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 8).
Figure 8 - 120/240 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps or
240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 7200 watts
(7.2 kW) of power at 30 Amps. The outlet is protected by two 30
Amp push-to-reset circuit breakers.
2.4 HOW TO USE THE GENERATOR
If there are any problems operating the generator, please call the
generator helpline at 1-888-436-3722.
Using a generator indoors CAN KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains carbon
monoxide. This is a poison you
cannot see or smell.
Utiliser un générateur à l'intérieur PEUT
VOUS TUER EN QUELQUES MINUTES.
Les gaz d'échappement du générateur
contiennent du monoxyde de carbone.
C'est un gaz toxique invisible et inodore.
Si usa un generador en interiores,
MORIRÁ EN POCOS MINUTOS.
El escape del generador contiene
monóxido de carbono. Es un veneno
que no tiene olor ni se puede ver.
NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open. Only use OUTSIDE and far away from
windows, doors, and vents.
NE JAMAIS utiliser à l'intérieur d'une maison ou d'un garage, MÊME SI les portes et les fenêtres sont ouvertes. Utiliser

y lejos de ventanas, puertas y ductos de ventilación.
2.4.1 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of this generator be
properly connected to an approved earth ground (Figure 9).
Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
unit. For that purpose, connecting a No. 10 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding lug and to an
earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides
adequate protection against electrical shock. However, local codes
may vary widely. Consult with a local electrician for grounding
requirements in the area.
