Cord Sets and Receptacles
Use only high quality,
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
240V
120V 120V
W (Neutral)
Y (Hot) | X (Hot) |
NEMA | Ground (Green) |
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 5,500 watts of power (5.5 kW) at
22.9Amps for 240 Volts or two independent 120 Volt loads at 22.9 Amps each. The outlet is protected by a two 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
The duplex receptacles are protected against overload by a two pole rocker switch circuit breaker.
Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC,
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.
Generator Adapter Cord Set
The generator comes with a 25' generator adapter cord set designed to provide two sets of 120 Volt, 20 Amp outlets from one 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacle.
The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps. The maximum total load on both black wire outlets or white stripe wire outlets is 20 Amps.
NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting any extension cord or device to the generator.
