I finally got around to unboxing my Costco Alton generator and found what I think may be an issue with this generator.
MrWizard or Professor95 could you please look at this schmatic and tell me if it only uses one AC winding to power the 30amp twistlock outlet? It appears that it uses one winding for the 120v side and the other winding for the twistlock side. I am not real good at reading schmatics but it seems like it would make more sense to use one AC winding per 120 leg to the twistlock. Is this an "inferior" way to wire the generator? I believe the Champion is wired with one AC winding powering a side of the 240v twistlock. If you guys think this will be an issue please let me know and I will return it and hold out hope Champion comes to my area soon. Thanks
Sorry about the huge size but I don't know how to shrink it and keep it readable.
Edit - for the full size, right click and save to your diskdrive. Use any graphics program to open and resize it. It is stretching the screen width as loaded. Mel
