Cord Sets and Receptacles
Use only high quality, well-insulated extension cords with the
generator’s 240 Volt receptacles. Inspect extension cords
before each use.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use
them. Extension cord sets used should be rated for 250 Volt
AC loads at 15 Amps or greater for most electrical devices.
Some devices, however, may not require this type of
extension cord. Check the operator’s manuals of those
devices for the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize
voltage drop.
240 Volt AC, 15 Amp Receptacles
These receptacles are protected against overload by an
internal overload system.
Use receptacles to operate 240 Volt AC, single–phase, 50 Hz
electrical loads requiring up to 1,600 watts (1.6 kW) at
6.6 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for
250 Volt AC loads at 15 Amps (or greater).
NOTICE
Receptacles may be marked with rating value
greater than generator output capacity.
• NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage than
generator or receptacle can supply.
• DO NOT overload the generator. See
Don’t Overload Generator
.
12 Volt DC Receptacle
The maximum current available for the battery charge circuit
is 5 Amps. A DC circuit breaker protects this receptacle from
overloads. If an overload occurs, the circuit breaker will trip
(push button pops out). Wait a few minutes and push the
button in to reset the circuit breaker.
This receptacle allows you to recharge a 12 Volt automotive
or utility style storage battery with the battery charge cable
provided.
This receptacle can not be used to crank an engine having a
discharged battery. See
Charging a Battery
before attempting
to recharge a battery.
NOTICE
When using the battery charge circuit, turn the
POWERSMART switch to the “
Off or O
” position.
Output Indicator
The green LED output indicator light comes on when the
generator is operating normally. It indicates that the
generator is producing power at the receptacles.
Overload Alarm
The red LED overload alarm light comes on and cuts power
to the receptacles if you overload the generator. The green
output indicator light will also go off. If the generator was
overloaded, you must turn off and unplug all electrical loads,
shut down the generator and restart it to continue in normal
operating mode.
Low Oil Indicator
The low oil indicator system is designed to prevent engine
damage caused by not enough engine oil. If the engine oil
level drops below a preset level, the yellow LED low oil
indicator light comes on and an oil switch will stop the
engine. If the engine stops or the yellow LED low oil
indicator light comes on when you pull the recoil handle,
check the engine oil level.
WARNING
Damaged or overloaded electrical cords
could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in death,
serious injury, and/or property damage.
• ONLY use cords rated for your loads.
• Follow all safeties on electrical cords.
• Inspect cord sets before each use.
