Figure 4. Generator Components
1. gFCi duplex Receptacles – NEMA 5-20R, GFCI
receptacle will provide 120V@ 20 amps.
2. hour meter – Indicates the number hours the generator
has been in use.
3. lifting Ball Eye – Attach a rope or chain to this lifting
eye when lifting of the generator is required. Never
stand underneath the generator while it is being lifted.
Place lifting eye in down position when not in use.
4. gFCi sensing module – Interrupts power when a
ground fault exist.
5. main Breaker – This 2-pole, 23 amp circuit breaker
protects the generator from short circuiting or
overloading. When starting the generator always have
the circuit breaker placed in the " OFF" position.
6. AC-voltmeter – This voltmeter indicates (with a
mark) the rated 60 Hz (single-phase) output voltage.
In addition the voltmeter can also be used as a
diagnostic tool. If the voltmeter indicator (needle) is
below the rated voltage, engine problems may exist
(low/high RPM's). To prevent damage to the generator
or power tools turn the generator OFF and consult your
authorized Multiquip service dealer.
7. idle Control switch – The generator is provided with
an automatic idle control device for noise suppression
and reduced fuel consumption.
The automatic idle control automatically engages under
a no-load condition. With the automatic idle control
switched “ ON”, the engine revolutions will automatically
drop to about 2600 rpm (low-speed operation) within
3 seconds after the load stops. When the operation is
resumed, the engine speed is automatically increased
to about 3600 rpm (high-speed operation) as soon as
the load is connected.
8. Operation switch – Place switch in the "ON" position
(up) for normal operation. To turn-off the generator,
place the operation switch in the "OFF" position (down)
9. start switch – Press this pushbutton switch to start
the generator (GA6HRS only).
10. 120/240v Output Receptacle – NEMA L14-30R twist-
lock receptacle will provide 240V, 60 Hz @ 20.8 amps,
or 120V@ 41.6 amps (X2) 60 Hz. Depending on the
position of the full power switch.
11. 120v Output Receptacle – NEMA L5-30R twist-lock
receptacle will provide 120V, 30 amps, 60 Hz.
12. 120v Output Receptacle – NEMA L5-20R twist-lock
receptacle will provide 120V, 20 amps, 60 Hz.
13. Battery – This unit is equipped with a 12 VDC
battery. Replace with only recommended type battery
(GA6HRS only).
14. Charcoal Canister – A container filled with activated
charcoal that traps gasoline vapors emitted by the
fuel system.
15. ground – This ground connection point should be
connect to a good earth ground (ground rod).
