OPM-153/A

120 Volt and 120/240 Volt receptacles are provided for 

connection to various loads. 

WL18000VE-03/B: 120 Volt and 240 Volt receptacles are 

provided for connection to various loads. The diagram 

below represents this 16,500 watt (rated output) generator. 

A & B represent the 120 volt output legs of this generator. 

Up to 8,250 watts at 120 volts (137.5 Amps) can be drawn 

from the receptacles attached to either A or B output legs. 

This generator is capable of producing 137.5 Amps of 240 

volt current at C. Check the appliance or tool nameplates for 

the current and voltage to insure compatibility. Remember 

that power taken from C reduces the power available at 

equally both A and B and vice versa.

Change Oil Warning -

After the first 50 hours, the engine oil should be changed. 

The YourGen meter will light up the oil icon (         ) and the 

word ‘change’ will flash. Once the oil has been changed, 

press and hold the cycle button for approximately 5 

seconds until the warning has been removed from the 

display to reset the warning. The meter will then remind 

you of oil changes on the appropriate schedule for your 

generator. It is important to remember that the engine 

manufacturer recommends changing the oil on a calendar 

schedule even if the total number of operational hours have 

not been reached. Certain operating environments may 

also require more frequent oil changes.

Alarms  - 

The display will start blinking and toggle to the first 

parameter that is out of specification. The panel will remain 

flashing until the fault condition returns to within the 

acceptable range, see following table.

hours continuously using a coin cell back-up battery inside 

the meter. Once the unit is running, the meter will get 

power from the main unit battery. 

Voltage  

 

 

3.0V DC

Battery Type 

 

CR2032 

Lifetime 

   10 

Years

The battery has a 10 year lifetime, in the event you need to 

change the battery, follow these instructions: 

The battery is located in the control box near potentially live 

AC terminals. To prevent electrocution while changing the 

battery disable the unit by disconnecting the main battery, 

spark plug wire and then open the receptacle panel. Locate 

the backside of the YourGen meter. Gently pry the back 

plate off using the slot located on top. 

 

Once open, the battery will be located at the top. Using a 

needle nose plier, carefully pull out the battery. 

Replace the battery having the POSITIVE (+) side down. 

Ensure the battery is secured between the battery 

connections. 

Replace the back plate of the meter and close the receptacle 

panel using the screws to secure it. Reconnect the unit’s 

main battery.
