Power receptacle( Option )
The light tower control panel is equipped with a
receptacle to provide power to external devices, such
as power tools. Power is supplied to the receptacle
when the engine is running and the receptacle circuit
breaker is switched to ON.
Ground-fault interrupter( Option )
The power receptacle has a ground-fault interrupter
(GFI). The GFI should be tested for proper operation
each time the receptacle is used.
• To test the GFI, press the test button on the
receptacle.
- If the GFI is operating properly, the reset
button should pop out and power to a
connected external device should shut off. To
restore power, press the reset button firmly.
- If the reset button does not pop out, the GFI is
defective and must be replaced. For safety,
only a qualified electrician should replace the
receptacle.
• If the GFI engages (the reset button pops out)
during use:
- Ensure the equipment plugged into the
receptacle is not drawing more than 20 amps.
- Check the generator and attached devices for
defects.
Derating
All generator sets are subject to derating for altitude
and temperature. Derating will reduce available
reserve power to the receptacle.
Performance ratings are typically reduced 3% per
1000 feet (300 m) above sea level, and 2% per 10°F
(5.5°C) increase in ambient temperature above 78°F
(25°C).
CAUTION
Overdrawing power from the receptacle can
cause the lights to shut off.
Do not draw more than 10 amps for universal
socket.
Do not draw more than 20 amps for duplex
socket.
