Briggs & Stratton 30253 Stopping the Engine, Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles

OPERATION

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 30 seconds to stabilize internal temperatures of engine and alternator.

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

4.Move fuel valve to “Off” position.

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 11).You can use the same 4–wire cord if you plan to run a 120 Volt load.
