breaker. If the main breaker trips, disconnect the electrical loads from all receptacles. Push the
circuit breaker switch to the on position. If the main breaker turns to the off position when no
electrical loads are connected, see a service technician.
RECEPTACLE THERMAL BREAKERS
The receptacle circuit breakers protect the receptacles. Overloading the
generator will trip the thermal circuit breaker. If an individual thermal
breaker selector switch (C) moves to the tripped possition as shown in
figure 14, disconnect the electrical load from the receptacle. Let the
circuit breaker cool down. Push the individual thermal breaker selector
switch (C) to reset.
NOTE: The 120/240-Volt twist-locking receptacles do not have individual
thermal breakers. The receptacle is protected by the main breaker. High
ambient temperatures can cause thermal breakers to trip.
GFCI DUPLEX RECEPTACLES (120V)
All models have at least one 120-volt ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). These models have
2 ground fault circuit interrupter:
DG6000/DG6000E, DG4300, DG7000/DG7000E.
The GFCI protects you against hazardous electrical shock caused when your body becomes a
path through which electricity travels to the ground. This could happen when you touch a cord
of an appliance that is “live” through faulty mechanism, dampness or worn insulation, etc. See
the section titled “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GENERATORS” that begins on page 1 to
read more about GFCI Receptacles.
TWIST-LOCKING RECEPTACLES (120-VOLT)
All models have at least one 120-Volt twist-locking receptacle.

VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
This switch allows the generator to operate in either single voltage (120-Volt) or dual voltage
(120/240-Volt) mode. In single voltage mode only the 120-Volt duplexes and twist-locking
receptacles are powered. The full rated power of the generator is shared between the 120-Volt
receptacles. In dual voltage mode both the 120-Volt and 120/240-Volt receptacles are powered;
however, only half the rated power is available at the 120-Volt receptacles. Full power is
available at the 120/240-Volt twist-locking receptacle.
NOTE: Do not move the voltage selector switch while powering electrical devices. Disconnect
all electrical loads before moving the switch. Failure to disconnect electrical loads can damage
the switch.
IDLE CONTROL SWITCH
The DG4300, DG6000, DG6000E, DG7000 and DG7000E models have an idle control switch
(H). The idle control switch automatically reduces engine speed 8 seconds after all electrical
