2.2 HOUBMETEB
The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled
maintenance:
Therewilt be a onetime break in "CHGOIL"messagethat flashes
with the elapsedtime in hours and tenths after the first 30 hours
of operation.
This messagewill actually beginflashing at 29 hours and disable
itself at 31 hours providing a two hour window to perform the
service.
Therewill be a subsequent"CHGOIL"messageevery 100 hours.
The message will flash one hour before and one hour after each
100 hour interval, again providing a two hour window to perform
service.
Every200 hours the "SVC"icon on the lower left hand corner of
the display will flash. The messagewill flash one hourbeforeand
onehourafter each 200 hourintervalprovidingatwo hourwindow
to perform service.
Whenthe hour meter is inthe FlashAlert mode, the maintenance
message will always alternate with elapsedtime in hours and
tenths. The hours wilt flash four times, then alternate with the
maintenancemessagefourtimes until the meter resets itself.

2.3 CORDSETSAND CONNECTIONPLUGS
2.3.1 120VAC,20 AMP,GFC/DUPLEXRECEPTACLE
This is a 120 Volt outlet protectedagainst overloadby a 20 Amp
push-to-resetcircuit breaker (Figure5). Useeach socketto power
120 Volt AC, single phase,60 Hzelectrical loads requiringupto a
combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Use only
high quality, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for
125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
Keep extensioncords as short as possible, preferablyless than
15 feet long, to preventvoltage drop and possibleoverheatingof
wires.
2.3.2 120/240VAC,30 AMP RECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock!
unlock). Connecta suitable4-wire groundedcord set to the plug
andto the desiredtoad.The cord set should be ratedfor 250 Volts
AC at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure5).
Use this receptacleto operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, singlephase
loads requiringup to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps
or 240 Volt AC,60 Hz,single phaseloadsrequiring6,500 to 8000
watts of power,dependingonthemodel.The outletis protectedby
a 30 Amp circuit breaker.
