What are you doing for overload protection on the outlets?

Jimmy
Overload protection is built into the unit. If you overload the hardwired connections, it’ll drop the load and shut down. If you overload the convenience outlet, it’ll trip an internal breaker.

Thank you for the good information on the electrical connections.

I am new to this forum. I just figured out how to find the picture. I like the setup.

Have you downloaded the TM's for your gen set? And looked at them? It might keep you from destroying something, or hurting yourself.

I'm booked up this weekend but if you are coming through you are welcome to drop it by the house. I can give it a once over and let you know what I think.

Please start a thread for your problem. This thread is real long, and covers someone elses gen set. Its confusing to try and help people when there are several folks wanting help in the same thread.
