OPERATION

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 Generator”.

CAUTION

Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity can damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.

•See “Don’t Overload Generator”.

•Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting electrical loads.

•Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for operation.

•Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator before stopping generator.

Stopping the Engine

1.Turn OFF and 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.Move fuel valve to “Off” position.

4.Set on/off switch in “Off” position.

RECEPTACLES

A double pole rocker switch circuit breaker is provided to protect all the receptacles and generator against electrical overload.

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, 20 Amp Locking Receptacle

Use a NEMA L14-20 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volts AC at 20 Amps (or greater) (Figure 6).You can use the same 4-wire cord if you plan to run a 120 Volt load.
