Portable Generator

Connecting Electrical Loads

•Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.

•Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.

•DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt duplex receptacles.

•DO NOT connect 3–phase loads to the generator.

•DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.

•DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See “Don’t Overload the Generator” on page 9.

Stopping the Engine

1.Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel receptacles. Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.

2.Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.

3.Turn engine off according to instructions given in the engine owner’s manual.

4.Move fuel valve to “Off” position.

GENERATOR ADAPTER CORD SET

The generator is equipped with a 25’ generator adapter cord set designed for a 240 Volt, 30 Amp grounded neutral circuit (Figure 2).The generator adapter cord set provides a convenient supply of emergency power into your dwelling so that your generator can be operated safely outside.

Figure 2 — Generator Adapter Cord Set

The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps.The maximum total load on both yellow wire outlets or both black wire outlets is 30 Amps.

NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting any extension cord or device to the generator.

RECEPTACLES

The generator will be equipped with one or more of the following receptacles:

CAUTION

Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater than generator output capacity.

•NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage than generator or receptacle can supply.

•DO NOT overload the generator. See “Don’t Overload Generator”.

120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking Receptacle

Use a NEMA L14–30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 3).You can use the same 4–wire cord if you plan to run a 120 Volt load.
