Operation
• To restore the flow of electricity, set the main breaker actuator
handle to the 'ON' position. The handles should remain latched
in this position. If it does not, either the GFCI or the main breaker
is failing and should be replaced. Contact a local service dealer.
• This GFCI is protected against overload by a 35A/240V main
breaker.

2.3.5 120 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE

Use a NEMA L5-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock/
unlock). Connect a suitable 3-wire 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 13).
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 7200 watts (7.2kW) of power at 30 Amps.
The outlet is protected by a 30 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker.

2.4 AUTOMATIC IDLE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)

This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel economy. When
this switch is turned "On," the engine will only run at its normal
fast governed engine speed when electrical load is connected.
When the load is removed, the engine will run at a reduced speed.
With the switch "Off," the engine runs at the normal fast engine
speed all the time. Always have the switch OFF when starting
and stopping the engine (Figure 12).
2.5 VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH (3.6 & 6.5KW
ONLY)
Allows the user to choose between 120/240 volts, or 120 volt
only. When in the 120 volt only position, the total generator output
is available through any of the 120 volt outlets. In the 120/240V
position, receptacles of 120 and 240 volts AC can be used
simultaneously. The voltage selector switch provides the user with
more usable power and improved flexibility.
NEVER switch the voltage selector switch with the main breaker
turned on! Doing this can cause arcing and can damage the
generator. First turn off all tools and appliances, turn off the
main circuit, and then operate the voltage selector switch.

2.6 HOW TO USE THE GENERATOR

If there are any problems operating the generator, please call the
generator helpline at 1-888-436-3722.
NEVER operate in an enclosed area or indoors!

NEVER use in the home, or in partly enclosed
areas such as garages, EVEN IF doors and
windows are open! ONLY use outdoors and far
from open windows, doors, vents, and in an
area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust.
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon

monoxide, which you cannot see or smell.
This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or
even death.
Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and

ventilating air is critical to correct generator
operation. Do not alter the installation or permit
even partial blockage of ventilation provisions,
as this can seriously affect safe operation
of the generator. The generator MUST be
operated outdoors.
This exhaust system must be properly

maintained. Do nothing that might render the
exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance
with any local codes and/or standards.
Always use a battery operated carbon

monoxide alarm indoors, installed according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
