CONNECTOR PLUGS

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 Volt AC, 15 Amp Receptacle

Each outlet socket is protected against overload by a

7.5Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 1,000 watts (1.0 kW) of power (Figure 4).

Figure 4 — 120 Volt AC, 15 Amp Duplex Receptacle

12 Volt DC Accessory Jack

This receptacle allows you to recharge a 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage battery with the battery charge cable provided. Camping-style air pumps, lanterns, fans, or other 12 Volt devices having a cigarette lighter-type plug may also be powered by this outlet (Figure 5).

OPERATION

This receptacle can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and can not be used to crank an engine having a discharged battery. See “Charging a Battery” (page 9) before attempting to recharge a battery.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only high quality, well-insulated, extension cords with the generator’s 120 Volt electrical receptacles.

Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use them. Such cords should be rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 15 Amps (or greater) for most electrical devices. Some devices, however, may not require this type of extension cord. Check the owner’s manuals of those devices for their recommendations.

Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of wires.

COLD WEATHER

OPERATION

Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40°F [4°C] combined with high humidity), your generator may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system. To reduce this problem, you need to perform the following:

1.Make sure generator has clean, fresh fuel.

2.Open fuel valve (turn valve to open position).

3.Use SAE 5W-30 oil (synthetic preferred, see engine manual).

4.Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours of operation.

5.Maintain generator following “Maintenance Schedule” in engine manual.

6.Shelter unit from elements.
