Load Indicator
Measures the wattage output of the 2 x 120 Volt duplex GFCI

removable control panel. It does not measure load on the
240 Volt, 30 Amp outlet.

If the 240 Volt receptacle is in use, the load indicated
on the display will not accurately reflect the exact wattage
being drawn from the generator.
Hour Meter
The digital hour meter operates whenever the engine is run-
