2.4 CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS

2.4.1 120 VAC, 20 AMP, GFCI DUPLEX RECEPTACLE

This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 20 Amp

push-to-reset circuit breaker (Figure 6). Use each socket to power

120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a

combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Use only

high quality, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for

125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).

Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than

15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of

wires.

2.4.2 120/240 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE

Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock/

unlock). 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 6).

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 6,500 to 8000

watts of power, depending on the model. The outlet is protected by

a 30 Amp circuit breaker.

2.5 HOW TO USE THE GENERATOR

See the "To Start the Engine" section for how to safely start and

stop the generator and how to connect and disconnect loads. If

there are any problems operating the generator, please call the

generator helpline at 1-888-436-3722.



Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors!

NEVER use in the home, in a vehicle, or in

partly enclosed areas such as garages, EVEN

IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use

outdoors and far from open windows, doors,

vents, and in an area that will not accumulate

deadly exhaust.



The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon

monoxide, which can you cannot see or smell.

This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient

concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or

even death.



Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and

ventilating air is critical to correct generator

operation. Do not alter the installation or permit

even partial blockage of ventilation provisions,

as this can seriously affect safe operation

of the generator. The generator MUST be

operated outdoors.



This exhaust system must be properly

maintained. Do nothing that might render the

exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance

with any local codes and/or standards.



Always use a battery operated carbon

monoxide alarm indoors, installed according to

the manufacturers instructions.

2.5.1 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR WHEN USED AS A

PORTABLE

This generator has an equipment ground that connects the

generator frame components to the ground terminals on the AC

output receptacles (see NEC 250.34 (A) for explanation). This

allows the generator to be used as a portable without grounding

the frame of the generator as specified in NEC 250.34.

Special Requirements

There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that

apply to the intended use of the generator.

Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the

local agency having jurisdiction:

• In some areas, generators are required to be registered with

local utility companies.

• If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be

additional regulations which must be observed.
