RECEPTACLES
120 Volt AC, 15 Amp Receptacles
Each of these outlets is protected against overload by
15 Amp push-to-reset type circuit breakers (Figure 11).
Use each outlet to operate 120 Volt, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring 1,800 (1.8 kW) watts at 15 Amps of current.
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 12).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; 4,000 watts of power (4.0 kW) at
16.7 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 4,000 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 16.7 Amps of current draw.
120 Volt AC, 30 Amp Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L5-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
3-wire cord set rated for 125 Volts AC at 30 Amps to the
plug (Figure 13).
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 3,600 watts (3.6 kW) of power
at 30 Amps.The outlet is protected by a 30 Amp
push-to-reset circuit breaker.
12 Volt DC, 10 Amp Receptacle
This connector (identified by the legend “12-VOLT D.C.”)
supplies 12 Volts DC at 10 Amps through battery charging
cables for recharging 12 Volt batteries (Figure 14). See
“Charging a Battery” on page 8.
