The generator has two separate main power producing circuits.
These two circuits supply equal power to different receptacles
shown when the voltage selector switch is in the 120/240V
position.
Example:
Receptacle 1 has a 10A load connected to it. Receptacle 3 has a 10
A load connected to it. Both receptacles are powered by main
power circuit II. The equation tells us that the total power draw on
circuit II is 20A. This is a substantial overload of this circuit. To
eliminate the excess power draw on circuit II, the load from
receptacle 3 should be switchedto receptacle 2. Now circuit I is
powering the 10A load (less than 13.8A) and circuit II is powering
a 10A load (less than 13.8A).
The table shows the specifications when the 120/240V locking
plug receptacle is used for 120V.

2 4=13.8A rated.
1 3 5=13.8A rated.
When two or more receptacles are used; prevent overloading by
dividing the load between the two power circuits.
The chart below shows the rated load in amperes that can be
connected to each receptacle to balance the generator.
The total rated amperedraw is 27.5A.
