2.2 HOURMETER

The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled 

maintenance:
There will be a "CHG OIL" message every 100 hours. The message 

will flash one hour before and one hour after each 100 hour 

interval, providing a two hour window to perform service.
This message will actually begin flashing at 99 hours and disable 

itself at 101 hours again, providing a two hour window to perform 

the service.
Every 200 hours the "SVC" icon on the lower left hand corner of 

the display will flash. The message will flash one hour before and 

one hour after each 200 hour interval providing a two hour window 

to perform service.
When the hour meter is in the Flash Alert mode, the maintenance 

message will always alternate with elapsed time in hours and 

tenths. The hours will flash four times, then alternate with the 

maintenance message four times until the meter resets itself.

2.3  CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS

2.3.1  120 VAC, 20 AMP, DUPLEX RECEPTACLE

This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 20 Amp 

push-to-reset circuit breaker (Figure 5). Use each socket to power 

120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 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 extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than 

15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of 

wires.

Figure 5 - 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacle

2.3.2  120/240 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE

Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock/

unlock). Connect a suitable 4-wire grounded cord set to the plug 

and to the desired load. The cord set should be rated for 250 Volts 

AC at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 6).

Figure 6 - 120/240 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle

Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase 

loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps or 

240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 7200 watts 

(7.2 kW) of power at 30 Amps. The outlet is protected by a 2-pole 

circuit breaker.
