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 4).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 4 — 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

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”.
