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.

Warranty Coverage: Powermate Corporation (the Company) warrants to the original retail customer in North America that it will repair or replace, free of charge, any parts found by the Company or its authorized service representative to be defective in material or workmanship. This warranty covers the cost of replacement parts and labor for defects in material or workmanship.

Not Covered:

· Transportation charges for sending the product to the

Company or its authorized service representative for warranty service, or for shipping repaired or replacement products back to the customer; these charges must be borne by the customer.

· Engine is covered exclusively by a separate warranty from the engine manufacturer, included with the engine Manual.

· Damages caused by abuse or accident, and the effects of corrosion, erosion and normal wear and tear.

· Warranty is voided if the customer fails to install, maintain and operate the product in accordance with the instructions and recommendations of the Company set forth in the owner's manual, or if the product is used as rental equipment.

· The Company will not pay for repairs or adjustments to the product, or for any costs or labor, performed without the Company's prior authorization.

B.120/240 V, 20 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle

A maximum of 20 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.

Warranty Period: Two (2) years from the date of purchase on products used solely for consumer applications; if a product is used for business or commercial applications, the warranty period will be limited to one (1) year from the date of purchase. For warranty service, the customer must provide dated proof of purchase and must notify the Company within the warranty period.

THE WARRANTY SERVICE DESCRIBED ABOVE IS THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS WARRANTY; LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IS EXCLUDED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Your generator is supplied with a 25 foot 12 GA SJTW 4-conductor 105ºC power cord set. This cord is equipped with an L14-20P twistlock Plug, on one end, which will plug directly into the mating twistlock receptacle on the control panel of your generator. The opposite end comes equipped with a special 4 circuit connector comprised of four 5-20R receptacles. These may be used to power individual loads. Make sure the loads

do not exceed the 20 amp rating of the Power Cord Set.

Circuit breaker protection is provided for on the control panel of your generator.

You will notice that the 4-circuit connector is color coded with gray and yellow receptacles. When several loads are powered at the same time, it is best to keep equal loads supplied to each separately colored half, if possible. The gray half and the yellow half of the connector are each capable of sustaining 20 amps of current provided your generator is capable of supplying 4800 watts of power. Check nameplate ratings for total wattage capability of the generator.

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.
