Cord Sets and Receptacles

Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension cords with the generator’s receptacles. 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 AC loads 15 Amps or greater. Check operator’s manuals of devices to be powered for the manufacturer’s recommendations.

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

WARNING Damaged or overloaded electrical cords

could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in death, serious injury, and/or property damage.

•ONLY use cords rated for your loads.

•Follow all safeties on electrical cords.

•Inspect cord sets before each use.

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacle

12 Volt DC Receptacle

The maximum current available for the battery charge circuit is 5 Amps. A DC circuit breaker protects this receptacle from overloads. If an overload occurs, the circuit breaker will trip (push button pops out). Wait a few minutes and push the button in to reset the circuit breaker.

This receptacle allows you to recharge a 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage battery with the battery charge cable provided.

The duplex receptacle is protected against overload by an

Low Oil Indicator

The low oil indicator system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by not enough engine oil. If the engine oil level drops below a preset level, the yellow LED low oil indicator light comes on and an oil switch will stop the engine. If the engine stops or the yellow LED low oil indicator light comes on when you pull the recoil handle, check the engine oil level.
