A.120 V, 20 Ampere Duplex Receptacle

20 amps of current may be drawn from each half of the

receptacle. 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

A maximum of 30 amps may be drawn from the 120/240 volt receptacle, provided it is the only receptacle used. However, 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 Breakers

The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker 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 breaker to trip, reduce the load. NOTE:

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

D.Engine On/Off Switch

E.CordKeeper™ Restraint

The CordKeeper™ restraint is a unique feature used to

prevent plugs from being pulled out of the receptacles.
