North Star M165939J owner manual Generator

Installation / Initial Set-Up

	The generator cannot power your entire home -- you must work with the
	installing electrician to determine which devices/appliances you wish to
	power during an outage. The electrician can help you determine which
	circuits and devices can be powered simultaneously without overloading the
	generator.
	(See the previous section of this manual entitled “Power Load Planning &
	Management” for more information on load application and selection.)
	When using the generator as a portable power source, you can plug
Using as a	electric devices and appliances directly into the generator’s electrical
Portable Power	outlets.
Source	There are four different kinds of electrical outlets on the generator:
	1. One 120/240 Volt, 50 Amp straight-blade receptacle (NEMA 14-50R
	receptacle compatible with NEMA 14-50P mating plug)
	2. One 120/240 Volt, 30 Amp locking receptacle (NEMA L14-30R
	locking receptacle compatible with L14-30P mating plug)
	3. One 120 Volt, 30 Amp locking receptacle (NEMA L5-30R receptacle
	compatible with NEMA L5-30P mating plug)
	4. Two 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex straight-blade receptacles (NEMA 5-
	20R duplex receptacles compatible with NEMA 5-20P or 5-15P
	mating plugs).

♦Make sure you plug each electrical device/appliance into the correct generator outlet based on the device’s plug configuration and voltage/amperage rating. Never exceed the amperage rating of an outlet.
