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”.

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 12).

Figure 12 — 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.

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles

Each duplex receptacle (Figure 13) is protected against overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.

Figure 13 — 120 Volt, 20 Amp 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).

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