Section 2 – Operation
Portable Generator System
2.2 HOURMETER
The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled 
maintenance:
There will be a one time break in "CHG OIL" message that flashes 
with the elapsed time in hours and tenths after the first 30 hours 
of operation.
This message will actually begin flashing at 29 hours and disable 
itself at 31 hours providing a two hour window to perform the 
service.
There will be a subsequent "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.
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 
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.
30 hours - CHG OIL — Break-in Interval (First 30 hrs only)
• 
100 hours - CHG OIL — Oil Change Interval (Every 100 hrs)
• 
200 hours - SVC — Air Filter Interval (Every 200 hrs)

2.3  CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS
2.3.1  120 VAC, 20 AMP, GFCI 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 
15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of 
wires.
Figure 7 - 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, GFCI 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 either a 
27 Amp (6.5kW) or a 30 Amp (8.0kW) circuit breaker.
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.
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.
