Cord Sets and Receptacles
Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension
cords with the generator’s 120 Volt duplex receptacle.
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 125 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.
120 Volt AC, 15 Amp, Duplex Receptacle
The duplex receptacle 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 1,800 watts (1,8 kW) at
15 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for 125 Volt
AC loads at 15 Amps (or greater).
12 Volt DC Accessory Jack
These receptacles allows you to recharge a 12 Volt
automotive or utility style storage battery with the battery
charge cable provided. Camping-style air pumps, lanterns,
fans, or other 12 Volt devices having a cigarette lighter-type
plug may also be powered by these outlets.
These receptacles can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and can
not be used to crank an engine having a discharged battery.
See
Charging a Battery before attempting to recharge a
battery.
WARNING
Overloaded electrical cords can overheat, arc,
and burn resulting in death, bodily injury, and/or
property damage.
• ONLY use cords rated for your loads.
• Follow all safeties on electrical cords.
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 .
