PowerBOSS™ 7000W Portable Generator OPERATION

Stopping the Engine

1. Turn OFFand unplug all electrical loads from
generator panel receptacles.NEVER start or stop engine
with electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Turn engine off according to instructions given in the
engine operator’s manual.
4. Move fuel valve to “Off” position.
RECEPTACLES

120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking

Receptacle

Use a NEMA L14–30 (National Electrical Manufacturers
Association) plug with this receptacle.Connect a 4–wire
cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30Amps (or
greater) (Figure 5).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 3,500 watts of power at
29.1Amps for 120 Volts;7,000 watts of power (7.0 kW) at
29.1Amps for 240 Volts.The outlet is protected by a
rocker switch circuit breaker.

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex

Receptacle

Each receptacle (Figure 6) is protected against overload by
a push–to–reset 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
125Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).
COLD WEATHEROPERATION
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
operator’s manual).
4. Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours of
operation.
5. Maintain generator following “Maintenance Schedule”
in engine operator’s manual.
6. Shelter unit from elements.
• 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”.
Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater
than generator output capacity.
