Electrical Hazards:
The generator is designed to generate an
electrical current at a high enough power
level to get meaningful work done. However,
power at these levels also includes the pos-
sibility of electrical hazards. Some things to
remember about electrical hazards include but
are not limited to:
a. Keep all electrical components in good
condition.
b. Do not operate with frayed, cracked or
damaged parts.
c. Ground the frame if operating in damp or
wet conditions.
d. Do not operate with wet hands.

Automatic Idle Control:
The HUF12000EA is designed with an idle
control system that will adjust and set the
length of time the engine runs at full throttle
before it slows to low idle. In an application
where the electrical load is intermittent (skill
saws, drills, other hand tools, etc.), the idle
control maintains the engine at full RPM and
the generator at full generating capacity to
allow work to continue without interruption.
Turn the rotary switch to set the length of time
at high idle that works best for your applica-
tion.
Fuel economy is better when the engine runs
at low idle versus having full electrical power
available at all times.
IMPORTANT
A circuit breaker that trips
repeatedly may indicate a
problem.

Circuit Breakers:
Each of outlets on the electrical panel is pro-
tected with a circuit breaker to prevent over-
loading the circuit. If a breaker trips, reduce
the load before re-setting the breaker.
• The two 120 volt 20 amp (5-15R) outlets are
each protected by a 20 amp pop up circuit
breaker. The HUF12000EA has the added
feature of GFCI (5-20R) protected outlets.
• The 120 volt 30 amp (L5-30) and the 120/240
volt 30 amp (L14-30) receptacle are protected
by a 30 amp breaker. If this breaker trips
then the 20 amp circuit as well as the 30 amp
circuit will be off.
• The 120/240 volt 50 amp (6-50R & 14-50R)
receptacles are protected by a 50 amp
breaker, which also serves as the main off/on
switch. If this breaker trips all the circuits will
be off.
