CONTROL PANEL
A.120 V, 20 Ampere Duplex Receptacle
20 amps of current may be drawn from each half of the
receptacle. However, total power drawn must be kept within
nameplate ratings. These receptacles may be used along with
the twistlock receptacle provided the generator is not
overloaded.
B.120/240 V, 30 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle
A maximum of 30 amps may be drawn from the 120/240
volt receptacle, provided it is the only receptacle used.
However, current must be limited to the nameplate rating. If the
120/240 volt receptacle is used along with the 120 volt
receptacle, the total load drawn must not exceed the nameplate
ratings.
C.Circuit Breakers
The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If
the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs,
the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all
electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem
before attempting to use the generator again. If overloading
causes the circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load. NOTE:
Continuous tripping of the circuit breaker may cause
damage to generator or equipment. The circuit breaker may
be reset by pushing the button of the breaker.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board and Powermate Corporation (herein "Powermate") are pleased to explain the evaporative emission
control system (EECS) warranty on your 2006 generator. In California, new generators must be designed, built and equipped to meet the
State's stringent anti-smog standards. Powermate must warrant the EECS on your generator for the periods of time listed below, provided
there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your generator.
Your EECS includes parts such as: fuel hoses.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This evaporative emission control system is warranted for two years. The warranty period begins on the date the generator is delivered to
an ultimate purchaser.
Powermate warrants to the ultimate purchaser and any subsequent owner that the generator is (i) designed, built and equipped so as to
conform with all applicable regulations; and (ii) free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part
to be identical in all material respects to that part as described in Powermate's application for certification.
If any evaporative emission-related part on your generator is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Powermate.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the generator owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. Powermate
recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your generator, but Powermate cannot deny warranty solely for the lack
of receipts. You should, however, be aware that Powermate may deny you warranty coverage if your generator or a part has failed due to
abuse, neglect or improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your generator to an authorized Powermate warranty service center as soon as the problem exists. The
warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have a question regarding your
warranty coverage, you should call Powermate Product Service at 1-800-445-1805.
DETAILS OF YOUR WARRANTY
Subject to certain conditions and exclusions as stated below, the warranty on emission-related parts is as follows:
(1)Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied, is warranted
for the period stated above. If the part fails during the period of warranty coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by
Powermate according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the
remainder of the period.
(2)Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions supplied, is warranted for the warranty
period stated above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(3)Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied, is warranted for
the period of time before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. If the part fails before the first scheduled replacement
date, the part will be repaired or replaced by Powermate according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under
warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement date for the part.
(4)Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty provisions herein must be performed at an authorized Powermate

emission-related warranted part, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at an authorized Powermate warranty service
center.
(6)Powermate is liable for damages to other engine or generator components proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any
warranted part.
(7)Throughout the generator warranty period stated above, Powermate will maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the
expected demand for such parts.

to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of Powermate.
(9)Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on
or modified parts by the ultimate purchaser will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claims. Powermate will not be liable to war
rant failures or warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.
