120 VAC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex
Receptacle
The 120 Volt outlet is overload protected by a
20 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. See Fig-
ure 2-4. Each receptacle will power 120 Volt
AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads
requiring up to 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20
Amps of current. Use only high quality, well-
insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for
125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater). It also pro-
vides protection with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter with a press to TEST and RESET
button.

Receptacle NEMA 5-20R
120/240 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle
(rotate to lock/unlock). Connect a suitable 4-
wire grounded cord set to plug and desired
load. The cord set should be rated 250 Volts
AC at 30 Amps (or greater). See Figure 2-5.
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60
Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 3600
watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps or 240
Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring
up to 7200 watts (7.2 kW) of power at 30
Amps. The outlet is protected by one 30 Amp
2-pole circuit breaker.

Idle Control Switch
This switch operates the engine at normal
(high) rpm when there is an electrical load
present and automatically reduces the engine
to a lower rpm when a load is not present. The
system can also be turned off to operate the
engine at a higher rpm at all times.
Hour Meter
The Hour Meter tracks hours of operation for
scheduled maintenance. See Figure 2-6.
• The SVC display will illuminate one hour
before and one hour after each 100 hour
interval providing a two hour window to per-
form service.
When the hour meter is in flash alert mode,
the maintenance message will alternate with
elapsed time in hours and tenths. The hours
will flash four times, then alternate with the
maintenance message four times until the
meter automatically resets.
• 100 hours - SVC — Change oil, oil filter, air
filter, and spark plug. Clean spark arrestor
screen (every 100 hrs).
NOTE: The hour glass icon will flash when the
engine is running. This signifies the meter is
recording hours of operation.

Fault Indicator Light
• If multiple failures have been detected, the
fault light will turn off for 2 seconds between
2 fault codes.
• Once the fault light has flashed all failure
codes, the fault light will turn off for 4 sec-
onds, and then turn on 4 seconds. The unit
will repeat the fault codes again. The unit
will repeat the codes up to 10 times, and
then stay lit.
• Once the fault(s) have been resolved,
reconnect the battery. The ECU will auto-
matically reset and stop flashing fault
codes.
Call Generac Customer Service at 1-888-
GENERAC (1-888-436-3722) for assistance.
NOTE: Verify the unit is turned OFF before
storage to avoid battery power drainage.
