Cord Sets and Receptacles

Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension cords with the generator’s 120 Volt duplex receptacle. Inspect extension cords before each use.

Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use them. Extension cord sets used should be rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps or greater for most electrical devices. Some devices, however, may not require this type of extension cord. Check the operator’s manuals of those devices for the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize voltage drop.

WARNING

Overloaded electrical cords can overheat, arc, and burn resulting in death, bodily injury, and/or

property damage.

•ONLY use cords rated for your loads.

•Follow all safeties on electrical cords.

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). 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 6,200 watts of power (6.2 kW) at

25.8Amps for 240 Volts or two independent 120 Volt loads at 25.8 Amps each. The outlet is protected by a double pole rocker switch circuit breaker.

NOTICE

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, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles

Both duplex receptacles are protected against overload by a double pole rocker switch circuit breaker.

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.
