This is a 2-pole breaker rated according to the
Specifications section.
EXTERIOR READY LI NT
. Green LED 'Ready' light (10, 12, 14, 16, 17 & 20
KW) is on when utility is present and switch is in
AUTO indicating the generator is ready and when
the generator is running.
. Red LED 7klarm' light (10, 12, 14, 16, 17 & 20
KW) is on when the generator is OFF or a fault is
detected. (See the Protections Systems section.)
. Yellow LED 'Maintenance' light (17 & 20 KW) (See

@ 3.5.3 120 VAC GFCI OUTLET & 15 AMP
BREAKER (17 & 20 KW ONLY)
These models are equipped with an external, 15 amp,
120 volt, GFCI convenience outlet that is located in
a compartment on the right side of generator (Figure
1.3).
When the generator is running, in the absence of util-
ity power, this outlet may also be used to power items
outside your home such as lights or power tools. This
outlet may also be used when utility power is pres-
ent by running the generator in manual mode. This
outlet does not provide power if the generator is not
running. This outlet is protected by a 15 amp circuit
breaker in the same compartment as the outlet. (Do
not use when the generator is running in exercise
mode.)
