All units are equipped with an external 15 amp, 120 volt GFCI convenience outlet located in the top corner of the compartment.
When the generator is running, in the absence of utility power, this outlet may also be used to power items outside the home such as lights or
power tools. This outlet may also be used when utility power is present by running the generator in manual mode.
This outlet does not provide power if the generator is not running. Do not use this outlet when the generator is in Exercise mode. This outlet is
protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker in the side compartment.
3.8 — Alarm Response Procedures

Alarm/Warning conditions can include (this is not a complete list):
• Low Oil Pressure
• High Engine Temperature
