2.10 Voltage Selection
The voltage selector switch
(h)
allows the generator to operate in
either single (120V) or dual voltage (120/240V) mode.
In single voltage mode only the 120V twist lock and 120V duplex
receptacles are powered. The full rated power of the generator is
shared between the four receptacles.
In dual voltage mode both the 120V and 240V receptacles are
powered; however, only half the rated power is available at the 120V
GFI receptacles and half at the 120V twist lock receptacle. Full power
is available at the 240V twist lock receptacle.
NOTICE:
NEVER switch the voltage selector switch with the main
breaker on! This can cause arcing and can damage the generator.
Turn all tools and appliances off and place main breaker in the “OFF”
(open) position
(O)
before changing the voltage switch position.
2.11 240V Receptacles
240 volt power is available at twist-lock receptacles
(m)
and
(n)
. 120
volt power is also available at twist-lock receptacle
(n)
and at
receptacles
(j)
and
(k)
.
The thermal overloads for
(j)
and
(k)
perform as described for
(g)
in
GFI.
However, protection for the 240V receptacles is provided by
overcurrent circuit breakers,

and
(d)
for
(n)
. If too much
current were to be drawn through either overcurrent circuit breaker, the
breaker would trip open. Correct the source of the overcurrent before
resetting the breaker.
To attach a power cord to a twist-lock receptacle, insert plug into
receptacle and turn it clockwise to lock it in place.
