Use information provided in this section to become familiar with your generator’s components.
A—Power Control Center
Electrical Outlets
• 125VAC 20 Amp GFCI Duplex
(NEMA 5-20R) outlets to connect
120V appliances to generator for
power. The GFCI will trip in the
event of a ground fault to prevent
serious injury.
While the generator is running:
•
red light indicates GFCI is set.
•
no red light indicates GFCI is
tripped.
• 125/250VAC 30 Amp Twist-Lock
(NEMA L14-30R) outlet can be used
to power appliances using appropri-
ate (NEMA L14-30P) power cord
(not included) or connect a transfer
switch to building’s main electrical
system for back-up power (see page 10).
