1. Hour Meter - Monitor run time and schedule maintenance intervals
2. Low Oil Alarm - Alarm when low oil is detected
8. GFCI 120V 20A 5-20R - Used to supply electrical power for the operation of 120V AC, 20A,
single phase 60HZ electrical loads.
4. 120V AC 30A L5-30R - Used to supply electrical power for the operation of 120V AC, 20A,
single phase 60HZ electrical loads.
10. 120/240 VAC 30A L14-30R Twist-lock Receptacle- Used to supply electrical power for the
operation of 120V AC and/or 240VAC, 30A, single phase 60Hz electrical loads.
3. Circuit Breaker - The circuit breadker protects the generator against electrical overloads. The rating of
the breaker and the load it protects are marked near the breaker. Should any of the Circuit Breakers trip,
the generator will stop the electricity output. If this happens, unplug all loads from the generator. Allow
the generator to cool down. Then, press the tripped Circuit Breaker, restart the engine, and re-attach loads.
9. Ground Terminal - Prior to each use, set up the ground wire (not included) connection to the
Grounding Terminal to properly ground the Generator.

Engine
At high altitudes over 3,000 feet, the engine
carburetor and any other parts that control the
fuel-air ratio will be affected, which will decrease
performance, increase fuel consumption and
increase emission. Proper operation can be ensured
by installing an altitude kit by a qualified mechanic
when use at altitude higher than 3,000 feet. Refer to
the altitude kit and operation instruction (provided)
when needed.
