Left - Activates the 240V twist lock, the 120V and RV receptacles are disabled.

Center - Disables all receptacles.

Right - Activates the 120V and TT30 (RV) receptacles. The 240V receptacle is disabled.

With the toggle switch in the left position, the generator field coils are in series type configuration providing 14A 240V output.

With the toggle switch in the right position, the generator field coils are in parallel type configuration, providing 29A 120V output.

How did we do?

Why does my generator not shut off when using propane?

Should I Use a Surge Protector?
