Cord Sets and Receptacles

Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension cords with the generator’s 120 Volt duplex receptacle. Inspect extension cords before each use.

Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use them. Extension cord sets used should be rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps or greater for most electrical devices. Some devices, however, may not require this type of extension cord. Check the operator’s manuals of those devices for the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize voltage drop.

WARNING Overloaded electrical cords can overheat,

arc, and burn resulting in death, bodily injury, and/or property damage.

•ONLY use cords rated for your loads.

•Follow all safeties on electrical cords.

120/240 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Locking Receptacle

Use a NEMA L14-20 plug with this receptacle. Connect a

4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater). You can use the same 4-wire cord if you plan to run a 120 Volt load.
