Figure 3. Generator Components
1. Main Breaker – 2-pole, 15 amp circuit breaker protects
the generator from short circuiting or overloading.
When starting the generator always have circuit
breaker placed in the OFF position.
2. 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.
3. Operation Switch – Place switch in ON position (up)
for normal operation. To turn-off the generator, place
switch in OFF position (down).
4. AC-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
due to low output voltage, turn the generator OFF and
consult your authorized Multiquip service dealer.
5. 240V Output Receptacle – NEMA L6-20R twist-lock
receptacle will provide 240V @ 20 amps, 60 Hz.
6. GFCI Ground – GFCI ground connection point.
7. 120V Output Receptacle – NEMA L5-30R twist-lock
receptacle will provide 120V @ 30 amps, 60 Hz.
8. GFCI Duplex Receptacle – NEMA 5-15R, GFCI
receptacle will provide 120V @ 15 amps.
9. Chassis Ground – This ground connection point
should be connected to a good earth ground (ground
rod).
