Briggs & Stratton 01648-1 Receptacles, 120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking Receptacle, NEMA L14-30

OPERATION 4500W Portable Generator PowerBOSS™

NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery state of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Generally, a battery is considered to be at 100% state of charge when specific gravity of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer) is 1.260 or higher.

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

This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 4,500 watts of power (4.5 kW) at 18.75 Amps for 120 Volts or 240 Volts.The outlet is protected by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.

IMPORTANT: This generator’s locking receptacle is not protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). If used on an OSHA governed job site, appropriate GFCI protection must be utilized.

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex Receptacles

Each duplex receptacle (Figure 8) is protected against overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.

Figure 8 — 120 Volt, 20 Amp GFCI Duplex Receptacle

Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single–phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW) at 20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for

125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater). Inspect cord sets before each use.

12 Volt DC, 10 Amp Receptacle

This receptacle allows you to recharge a 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage battery with the battery charge cables provided (Figure 9).

Figure 9 — 12 Volt DC, 10 Amp Receptacle

This receptacle can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and can not be used to crank an engine having a discharged battery. See the section “Charging a Battery” (page 10) before attempting to recharge a battery.
