MULTI-METER
The multi-meter on your generator switches between voltage (e.g. 120.1), frequency (e.g. 60.0H), and runtime (e.g.
12.3) every 5 seconds. When you first use the generator, the meter will count runtime, but will not store runtime
until the generator is run for longer than 2 hours at a time. Once the generator has been run for more than 2 hours
at a time, the meter will track runtime normally. For an example, as well as more explanation, please refer to Table
4 below.

COMMENTS
1 1 hr 30 min 1.5 Yes, to 0.0
Meter will show “1.5” just before it is shut off,
but it has not been run for 2 hours at a time
yet.
2 30 min 0.5 Yes, to 0.0
Meter will show “0.5” just before it is shut off,
but it has not been run for 2 hours at a time
yet.
3 1 hr 1 Yes, to 0.0
Meter will show “1.0” just before it is shut off,
but it has not been run for 2 hours at a time
yet.
4 3 hr 3 No
Meter will show “3.0” at the end, since it has
been run for more than 2 hours. It will not in-
clude the 3 hours (1.5 + 0.5 + 1) the generator
was run before.
5 2 hr 5 No
Meter will show “5.0” at the end, since it has
been run for 3 + 2 = 5 hours. The meter is
counting normally, and will continue operating
normally.
Every 50 hours, the meter will display “]--[“, which is to remind you to perform 50-hour maintenance. Consult the
maintenance chart for recommended procedures. The display code will appear every 15 seconds for 6 minutes.
After 6 minutes, or after the generator is shut down and restarted, the code will clear and display voltage, frequency,
and runtime, as before.
