Section 2 – Operation

2.3.3 120 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE Figure 11 - 12 Volt DC, 10 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 (or greater) to the plug (Figure 9).

Figure 9 - 120 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle

Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps. The outlet is protected by a 30 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker.

2.3.4 120/240 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE

Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a suitable 4-wire grounded cord set to the plug and to the desired load. The cord set should be rated for 250 Volts AC at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 10).

Figure 10 - 120/240 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle

Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps or 240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 7200 watts (7.2 kW) of power at 30 Amps. The outlet is protected by two 30 Amp push-to-reset circuit breakers.

2.3.5 12 VOLT DC, 10 AMP RECEPTACLE

This receptacle permits recharging a 12-Volt automotive or utility style storage battery with the battery charge cables provided (Figure 11). This receptacle can not recharge 6-Volt batteries and can not be used to crank an engine having a discharged battery. See the section "Charging a Battery" before attempting to recharge a battery.

2.3.6 120/240 VAC, 50 AMP RECEPTACLE

Use a NEMA 14-50 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volts AC at 50 Amps to the plug (Figure 12).

Figure 12 - 120/240 VAC, 50 Amp Receptacle

50 A

Use this receptacle to operate 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 12,000 watts (12.0 kW) of power. This receptacle is protected by a 50 Amp 2-pole circuit breaker.

2.4HOW TO USE THE GENERATOR

If there are any problems operating the generator, please call the generator helpline at 1-888-436-3722.

2.4.1 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and external electrically conductive parts of this generator be properly connected to an approved earth ground (Figure 13). Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the unit. For that purpose, generally, connecting a No. 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wing nut and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides adequate protection against electrical shock. However, local codes may vary widely. Consult with a local electrician for grounding requirements in the area.
