CORD SETS AND CONNECTOR PLUGS

CORD SETS AND CONNECTOR PLUGS

120 Volt AC Duplex Receptacle

Use only high quality, well-insulated, extension cords with the generator's 120 Volt electrical receptacles.

Each receptacle is protected against overload by a single push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single phase,

60 Hz, electrical loads requiring up to 1,800 watts

(1.8 kW) at 15 Amps of current.

_ CAUTION! Although each receptacle is rated for 120 Volts at 15 Amps (1,800 watts or

1.8kW), the generator is rated for a total of 4,200 watts. Powering loads that exceed the wattage capacity of the generator can damage it or cause serious injuries. The total 120 Volt load powered through these receptacles should not exceed 15 Amps.

Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use them. Extension cord sets used should be rated

125 AC Volts at 15 Amps (or greater) for most electrical devices. Some devices, however, may not require this type of extension cord. Check the owner's manuals of those devices for the manufacturer's recommendations.

Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of wires.

120/240 Volt AC, 20 Amp Receptacle

This is a full capacity receptacle which means you can take the generator's full rated wattage from this single NEMA L14-20 receptacle. The outlet is protected by a 20 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker.

4-WireCord Set

240V -_

A NEMA L14-20 mating connector plug is required for use with this 240 Volt receptacle. Connect a suitable 4-wire cord set to the plug and to the desired load. The cord set should be rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps.

_ AUTION! Although this outlet is rated for 240 Volts AC at 20 Amps, the generator is

capable of producing only 17.5 Amps at 240 Volts AC.

120 Volt AC, 30 Amp Receptacle

Use a NEMA L5-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 3-wire cord set rated for 125 Volts AC at 30 Amps to

the plug.

Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 3,600 watts

(3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps. The outlet is protected by a 30 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker.

12 Volt DC Receptacle

This receptacle allows you to recharge a 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage battery with the battery charge cables provided. This receptacle can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and can not be used to crank an engine having a

discharged battery. See the sections "Battery Safety" and "Charging a Battery" (page 9) before attempting to recharge a battery.
