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