Connecting Electrical Loads
• Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC, single phase,
60 Hz electrical loads.
• Do Not connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt duplex
receptacles.
• Do Not connect 3–phase loads to the generator.
• Do Not connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See
“Don’t Overload the Generator” on page 8.
Stopping the Engine
• Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel
receptacles. Never start or stop engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned ON.
• Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize
the internal temperatures of engine and generator.
• Move rocker switch to “Off” position.
• Move the fuel valve to the “Off” position.
RECEPTACLES
This generator is equipped with the following receptacles:
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp Duplex
Receptacle
This receptacle (Figure 6) is protected against overload by
a push-to-reset circuit breaker.
Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single-phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW)
at 20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for 125
Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
120/240 Volt AC, 20 Amp Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14-20 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater)
(Figure 7).You can use the same 4-wire cord if you plan to
run a 120 Volt load.
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 2,400 watts of power at
20 Amps for 120 Volts; 3,200 watts of power (3.2 kW) at
13.3 Amps for 240 Volts.The outlet is protected by a
20 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker.
CAUTION!
Although this outlet is rated for
240 Volt 20 Amp (up to 4,800 watts), the generator
is only rated for 3,200 watts. Powering loads that
exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of the
generator can damage it or cause serious injuries.
240 Volt loads powered through this outlet should
not exceed 13.3 Amps of current draw.
