Receptacle
The 120 Volt outlet is overload protected by a
20 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. See
. 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.

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

AC at 30 Amps (or greater). See
.
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.

Hour Meter
The Hour Meter tracks hours of operation for
scheduled maintenance. See
.
• 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.

EFI Fault Indicator Light
See
. This unit is
equipped with an EFI Fault indicator light, that
will flash diagnostic codes in the event of a
failure for easy troubleshooting.
There are 3 levels of fault codes:
1. Level 1 will flash and the generator will
run. There may be a slight impact on per-
formance.
2. Level 2 will flash and the generator will
shut down if multiple errors are detected.
3. Level 3 will shut down the generator imme-
diately.

COsense®
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection
and Shut-off System (if equipped)
The COsense® module monitors for the accu-
mulation of poisonous CO gas found in engine
exhaust when the generator is running. If
COsense® detects increasing levels of CO
gas, it automatically shuts off the engine.
COsense® only monitors when the engine is
running. Generators are intended to be used
outdoors, far from occupied buildings and the
