Generator 80 amp Breaker under hood

[Cozimoto]

The generator breaker is labeled T.S.D., "Transportation Safety Device" ... is there a reason to disconnect this when traveling? It would be kind of a pain to disconnect and reset all the time, perhaps that was just the way the waterproof breaker Chinook used was labeled. Do not find anything in the manual on it. Thoughts? Advice?

You can leave it on. TSD is simply the name of the electrical parts supplier in Indianapolis.

Interestingly, you can apparently use its reset button to also act as a disconnect switch to open the breaker, to make it easier to work on the generator electrical system, without having to remove any battery wires.

If anyone needs a replacement, this looks like it: http://www.partshubdirect.com/products2 ... r-131-0011

Thank-You 'kdarling' ... it seemed unreasonable to disconnect it when traveling ... the company name threw me, ha! and yes we did use it to isolate the generator when working on the carburetor.
