GEN7000LPC 7000 Surge Watt / 6000 Running Watt Portable LP Electric Start Generator Manual 17
Connect electrical devices to this generator according to the following procedure:
1. Allow the engine to run for several minutes after it has been started.
2. Confirm that the electrical device is switched off prior to plugging it into this generator.
Connect only electrical devices that are in good working order. Faulty devices or power cords present the risk of electrical shock.
Immediately turn off and disconnect any device that commences to operate abnormally, sluggish or abruptly stops. Determine if the
problem was the device or the rated load capacity of this generator has been exceeded.
NOTE: Plug appliances into the correct outlet. Connect standard 120 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz loads to the 120 Volt outlet. Connect 240/120Volt,
single phase, 60Hz loads with a L14-30 plug only to the 240/120 Volt outlet. See Figure 8 for an illustration of these outlets.
Even though this Portable LP Generator GEN7000LP has an overall rated wattage of 6000, do not attempt to draw more than 20 AMPS from
any set of Two receptacles of the 120 Volt outlets. Draws higher than 20 Amps will damage this generator and void the warranty.
3. Make sure AC Reset button is pressed in.
NOTE: While this generator is running, power is available from either the standard 120 Volt outlets or the 240/120 Volt outlet. Both 120 Volts and
240 Volts can be simultaneously drawn from this generator.
4. Turn on the connected electrical devices beginning with the device with the highest rated wattage requirement and then each additional device
with the next lower rated wattage requirement.
Do not connect 50Hz or 3-phase loads to this generator.
Figure 8 - Outlets Available on this Generator: 120V AC (4 each), 240/120 AC (one each) and 12V DC

the power requirement of the electrical device. When using cords that exceed these specifications, allow for the electrical device to have a slightly
higher rated wattage requirement.
