Here's a question. I'm working on a Blackmax 6560 portable generator and I can switch the wires on the back of the push button circuit breaker and the outlet works but switching them to the other breaker I don't get any out put. The breaker doesn't pop out so or trip so i don't know what else it could be. Unless it's just a bad breaker??😮
⚠️Here are the safety rules of using portable generators It is important to follow all generator safety rules whenever we use portable generators: Everyone must see this. This is just a reminder for everyone’s safety. 1) KEEPING OTHERS SAFE: Please do not allow an unqualified person or your children to operate and service the portable generator. Just because some manuals don’t say that doesn’t mean it’s safe. That is important against the generator safety rules. We also need to be keeping an eye on our children too. You need to make sure that your children are not playing near the portable generator especially when it’s running so they won’t get electrocuted. Generators pose electrical risks and they can be hot during an operation. Please keep your children away from the portable generator at all times. It is important to keep our children safe especially our little ones. Be aware of all the hazards. 2) WHERE TO RUN YOUR GENERATOR: Some people use their portable generators indoors which increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s important to have a carbon monoxide if you have a gas generator. Never ever use your generator indoors even if your doors and windows are open and even in the garage is not safe to use a portable generator. Not even at your porch and your deck. It is never safe to use your generator indoors and in enclosed areas of your home. Your generator needs to be 15-20 feet away from your house. 3)🔥FIRE HAZARDS: Never refuel your generator while it’s running. You need to let your generator cool off before refueling it and before storing your generator. Never overload your generator too. Never ever back feed your generator. You should never plug your generator into a wall outlet. Also never store propane tanks indoors. Please keep flammable things away from the generator as well and please don’t smoke cigarettes near the generator. Having a fire extinguisher next to the generator is also important against the generator safety rules. 4) GENERATOR OPERATION: make sure your hands are dry before touching the generator. Never use your generator in wet conditions. Don’t let your generator get wet. You need a generator tent if you need to use your generator during wet weather. Please don’t wear loose clothes when operating the generator. Turn on your generator before plugging in appliances. Use the right cord for your generator. Please do not use worn out cords. th-cam.com/video/I1jT3ANENvI/w-d-xo.html and here is a video more about keeping others safe when using generators Hope this helps. Please make sure you follow all the generator safety tips. Remember it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Thanks for sharing my breaker is toast I'm trying to run my air conditioner off a 20 amp circuit I think the breaker is weak and it keeps shutting off that the air conditioner super frustrating
With this Hurricane here in Florida I screwed up and forgot to disconnect the generator from the house when the power from the city came on. I hope it is the breakers on my Coleman Powermate 7500 generator. How did you know what size to order. Oh, my 110 generator outlets are not putting out. Help!
Thanks You. It's. Bery. Good. This. Information

Is polarity of the 2 wires important on the breaker or can you land them on eather side??
@williamd6967 I don't think it matters but you can look at your other breakers to see how they are in there
Did you disconnect the battery?

I'm not sure if breakers protect going into the system. You need to contact small engine repair or generator dealer.
Wondering if this is what’s wrong with mine. I have power to the breaker. Just doesn’t leave the breaker to the outlet.
More than likely. In my experience with these, once they trip one time they are no good any more.
What if not producing any electricity I connect equipment and the generator completely shuts off
Where did you order the fuse from and what is it called? Thanks
I buy these on Ebay. Search for Generator breaker and choose the right amperage for the one you are replacing.
how can you tell how to put back in? looks the same to me?
The prongs of the breaker is off to one side. Just make sure when you put back it that it matches.
How did you know it was thee breaker
The breaker should have been able to carry the load I put on it
