Product Manual

RECEPTACLE PANEL

The MLG15, MLG20, and MLG20ICAN models are

equipped with a receptacle panel for running accessories

or tools from the generator. Power is supplied to the

receptacles any time the engine is running and the main

circuit breaker is switched to the ON (I) position. Each

receptacle has an individual circuit breaker, located inside

the cabinet under a flip-up cover. Each circuit breaker

corresponds with the receptacle located below it on the

receptacle panel.

Should the main breaker, or any of the individual circuit

breakers trip, remove some of the load to the receptacles

before turning them back on.

Note: To ensure proper grounding, anytime the generator is providing power to any equipment or load panels that

do not have a grounded plug, a ground wire MUST BE added between the equipment and the grounding stud on

the receptacle panel per the National Electrical Code (NEC), state and local regulations.

SHUTTING DOWN THE UNIT

Check with personnel using power supplied by the unit and let them know the power is going to be turned off. Make

sure the power shut down will not create any hazards by accidentally turning off equipment that needs to be kept on

(pumps, compressors, lights, etc.).

When you have finished using the unit, proceed with shut down as follows:

1. Remove any loads from the receptacles.

2. Switch the individual circuit breakers for each receptacle to the OFF (O) position.

3. Switch the main circuit breaker to the OFF (O) position.

4. Turn the Control Power switch to the OFF position.

Note: For extended storage time, disconnect the battery. For extended storage requirements, refer to the engine

operator’s manual.

TOWING THE UNIT

Once the engine is shut down, follow these steps to prepare the unit for towing.

1. Use the jack to raise or lower the trailer onto the hitch of the towing vehicle. Lock the hitch coupling and attach

the safety chains or cables to the vehicle. Remove the jack locking pin and rotate the jack into the travel position.

Replace the jack locking pin, ensuring it snaps into place.

Note: A film of grease on the coupler will extend coupler life and eliminate squeaking. Wipe the coupler clean and

apply fresh grease each time the unit is towed.

2. To ensure proper operation of the jack, lube the grease fitting located on the leveling jack on the tongue. Refer

to “Jack Maintenance” on page 21. For maintenance interval information, refer to Basic Maintenance Schedules

beginning on page 19.

3. Connect any trailer wiring to the tow vehicle. Check for proper operation of the stop and signal lights.

4. Make sure the doors are properly latched.
