Your generator is supplied with a 25 foot 12 GA SJTW 4-conductor 105ºC power cord set. This cord is equipped with an L14-20P twistlock Plug, on one end, which will plug directly into the mating twistlock receptacle on the control panel of your generator. The opposite end comes equipped with a special 4 circuit connector comprised of four 5-20R receptacles. These may be used to power individual loads. Make sure the loads do not exceed the 20 amp rating of the Power Cord Set. Circuit breaker protection is provided for on the control panel of your generator.

You will notice that the 4-circuit connector is color coded with red and blue dots. When several loads are powered at the same time, it is best to keep equal loads supplied to each separately colored half, if possible. The red half and the blue half of the connector are each capable of sustaining 20 amps of current provided your generator is capable of supplying 4800 watts of power. Check nameplate ratings for total wattage capability of the generator.
