CONTROL PANEL

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) PROTECTION

Some jobsites and local codes may require GFCI protection for personnel before operation of your generator. If your generator is not already equipped with a GFCI receptacle, GFCI In-line cord sets may be purchased from your local electrical supply store or home builder appliance store.

These cord sets are available in various plug and amperage configurations. (Make sure your generator is

properly Grounded.)

NOTE: Total power drawn from all receptacles must not exceed the nameplate ratings.

A.120 V, 20 Ampere Duplex Receptacle

20 amps of current may be drawn from either of the duplex

receptacles. However, total power drawn must be kept within nameplate ratings. These receptacles may be used along with the twistlock receptacle provided the generator is not overloaded.

B.120/240 V, 30 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle

Maximum full load current may be drawn from the 120/240

volt receptacle, provided it is the only receptacle used. Total current must be limited to the nameplate rating. If the 120/240 volt receptacle is used along with the 120 volt receptacle, the total load drawn must not exceed the nameplate ratings.

C.Circuit Protectors

The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit protector. If

the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs, the circuit protector will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem before attempting to use the generator again. If overloading causes the circuit protector to trip, reduce the load. NOTE:

Continuous tripping of the circuit protector may cause damage to generator or equipment. The circuit protector may be reset by pushing the button of the protector.

CORD SET

Your generator is supplied with a 25 foot 12 GA SJTW 4-conductor 105ºC power cord set. This cord is equipped with an L14-30P 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. NOTE: For 120 volt use only. 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. When several loads are powered at the same time, it is best to keep equal loads supplied to each separately colored half, if possible. Each half of the connector is 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.
