PARALLEL CONNECTIONS
Two parallel ready generators can be connected together
to increase the total power available to a load by using
the parallel receptacles. The system seamlessly matches
frequency and automatically distributes the load to each
generator so one is not overloaded. Follow the parallel kit
(sold separately) instructions for connection and use of a
parallel kit.
ELECTRIC STARTER
Push the start button to crank the engine using the electric
start and release it once the engine starts.
IDLE CONTROL
This generator is equipped with an idle control switch.
When in the on position “I” the engine will vary speed to
match the required power output to conserve fuel, and
reduce wear and noise.
Note: If loads requiring intermittent power, or multiple
large loads are connected, turn the electronic speed
control switch off “O” to avoid possible engine stall.
To avoid extended warmup time, keep the electronic
speed control off until normal operating temperatures
have been reached.
OVERLOAD RESET BUTTON
This button can be used to clear an overload condition
without the need to stop and restart the unit.
AC/DC CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The generator comes equipped with AC (1) and DC (2) cir
-
cuit breakers that protect the unit and the load from short
circuit or overload conditions. If the circuit breaker opens,
determine why the circuit breaker tripped before closing
the circuit breaker.
WARNING: DO NOT PUT FOREIGN OBJECTS INTO
THE PLUG RECEPTACLE.
CAUTION: DO NOT PLUG MORE THAN TWO
APPLIANCES INTO THE GENERATOR AT A TIME.
CAUTION: IF CIRCUIT BREAKER CONTINUES TO
TRIP, CHECK APPLIANCE FOR DEFECT. IF
GENERATOR IS MALFUNCTIONING, SEE YOUR
AUTHORIZED MI-T-M SERVICE CENTER.
NEVER INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER KNOB OR KEEP PUSHING IT
IN THE “ON” POSITION.
120 VAC, 20 AMP, GFCI DUPLEX
The 120 VAC duplex receptacle is protected against
overload by a 20 Amp push to reset circuit breaker. It also
provides protection via a Ground Fault Circuit Interrup-
tor (GFCI) with press to Test and Reset buttons. Use the
receptacle to power a NEMA 5-20, 120 VAC, single phase,
60 Hz electrical load requiring 20 Amps of current.
