240 Volt AC, 50 Amp Receptacle
Use a NEMA 6–50 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volts AC at 50 Amps to
the plug (Figure 8).
Use this receptacle to operate 240 Volt AC, 60 Hz,
single phase loads requiring up to 10,000 watts
(10.0 kW) of power.
CAUTION
! Although this outlet states it has a
240 Volt 50 Amp rating (up to 12,500 watts), the
generator is only rated for 10,000 watts.
Powering loads that exceed the wattage/
Amperage capacity of the generator can
damage it or cause serious injuries.
GROUND FAULT
PROTECTION
This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). This device meets applicable
federal, state and local codes.
The GFCI protects against electrical shock that may be
caused if your body becomes a path which electricity
travels to reach ground. This could happen if you touch
a “Live” appliance or wire, or are touching plumbing or
other materials that connect to the ground.
When protected by a GFCI, one may still feel a shock,
but the GFCI should cut current off quickly enough so
that a person in normal health should not suffer any
serious electrical injury.
DANGER
: The GFCI will not protect you
against the following situations: (1) Line-to-line
shocks; (2) Current overloads or line-to-line
short circuits. The fuse or circuit breaker at the
distribution panel must provide such protection.
Testing the GFCI
Test your GFCI outlet every month, as follows:
• Push the black “
Test ” button. The red “ Reset ” button
should pop out, which should allow no power to
reach the outlet. Use a test lamp in each outlet to
test this.
DANGER
: If the “ Reset ” button does not pop
out or the test lamp remains lit when the
“ Reset ” button is popped out, do not use any
outlets on the circuit. Call a qualified electrician.
• If the GFCI tests good, restore power by pressing the
“Reset” button firmly until it is fully in place and locks
in that position. If the GFCI outlet does not reset
properly, do not use the outlet — call a qualified
electrician.
• If the GFCI trips by itself at any time, reset and test
the outlet. If the reset button does pop out when
the test button is pressed, do not use the outlet.
Call a qualified electrician.
