Figure 3. Generator Components
1. gFCi Breakers (2) – These single pole circuit breakers
(120V, 15 amps) protect the GFCI receptacles. When
starting the generator always have these circuit
breakers placed in the " OFF" position.
2. 30 amp Breaker – Single pole 30 amp circuit breaker
protects the 120V twist-lock receptacle. When starting
the generator always have this circuit breaker placed
in the " OFF" position.
3. 20 amp Breaker – 2-pole 20 amp circuit breaker
protects the 240V twist-lock receptacle. When starting
the generator always have this circuit breaker placed
in the " OFF" position.
4. 30 amp Breaker – 2-pole 30 amp circuit breaker
protects the 120/240V twist-lock receptacle. When
starting the generator always have this circuit breaker
placed in the " OFF" position.
5. aC-voltmeter – This voltmeter indicates (with a
mark) the rated 60 Hz (single-phase) output voltage.
In addition the voltmeter can also be used as a
diagnostic tool. If the voltmeter indicator (needle) is
below the rated voltage, engine problems may exist
(low/high RPM's). To prevent damage to the generator
or power tools turn the generator OFF and consult your
authorized Multiquip service dealer.
6. idle Control switch – The generator is provided with
an automatic idle control device for noise suppression
and reduced fuel consumption.
The automatic idle control automatically engages under
a no-load condition. With the automatic idle control
switched “ ON”, the engine revolutions will automatically
drop to about 2600 rpm (low-speed operation) within
3 seconds after the load stops. When the operation is
resumed, the engine speed is automatically increased
to about 3600 rpm (high-speed operation) as soon as
the load is connected.
7. Operation switch – Place switch in the "ON" position
(up) for normal operation. To turn-off the generator,
place the operation switch in the " OFF" position (down).
8. start Button – Press this pushbutton switch to start
the generator.
9. main Breaker – 2-pole 35 amp circuit breaker protects
the generator from short circuiting or overloading.
When starting the generator always have this circuit
breaker placed in the " OFF" position.
10. 120/240v Output Receptacle – NEMA L14-30R twist-
lock receptacle will provide 120/240V, 30 amps, 60 Hz.
11. 240v Output Receptacle – NEMA L6-20R twist-lock
receptacle will provide 240V, 20 amps, 60 Hz.
12. 120v Output Receptacle – NEMA L5-30R twist-lock
receptacle will provide 120V, 30 amps, 60 Hz.
13. gFCi duplex Receptacle – NEMA 5-15R, GFCI
receptacle will provide 120V, 15 amps.
14. ground lug – This ground connection point should be
connect to a good earth ground (ground rod).
