2. Push in the circuit reset buttons to the “ON” position (NOTE: They may be pushed in
already).
3. Move the voltage selector to the desired position. Move the switch to the left to use the
standard 120 Volt receptacles. Move the switch to the right to use the 240/120 Volt NEMA
receptacle.
4. The power indicator lights will light accordingly as the Volt Selector is selected. They light
up when the receptacles receive power. In the case of the 240/120 Volt receptacle, both
lights MUST light up for 240/120 Volts of power. If only one light comes on, DO NOT
USE the receptacle. Press the circuit reset buttons and see if both lights come on. If both
lights will still not illuminate, call the customer service number for instructions.
CAUTION: Do not connect 50Hz or 3-phase loads to the generator.

CIRCUIT RESET BUTTONS
The circuit reset buttons help to prevent the generator from electrical overload. If your receptacle
short circuits or becomes overloaded by an electrical device or devices with too great a wattage
rating, the circuit protector may shut off power to the receptacle. If this happens, you will see the
voltage indicator light or lights turn off and you will not be able to draw power from the
overloaded receptacle. In the event of such an overload, disconnect all electrical devices from the
generator and press the circuit reset buttons. If power still does not return to the receptacle, call
our customer service line.
