120V AC, 20A DUPLEX OUTLET:
Use this duplex outlet to operate 120V AC, 60 Hz,
single phase loads requiring up to 20A each outlet.
The outlets are protected by press-to-reset circuit
protectors. If protectors pop due to appliance
overload, remove the loads and wait for a minute
for the protectors to cool down and then press to
rest.
Use only high quality, UL-rated, well-insulated, grounded extension cords with
generator’s 120VAC duplex outlet. It is important to inspect all extension cords for
damaged plugs and cracked or cut insulation before every use.
Check ratings for extension cords to ensure they are large enough for use with 120V
AC with loads of 20A or greater applications for most electrical devices. Some
devices, however, may not require an extension cord with this rating. Check the
operator’s manual of each device before connecting to generator and follow manu-
facturer’s recommendations.
CONNECTING TO GENERATOR OUTLETS
In order to prevent damage and prolong the life of the generator and any attached
appliances or tools, it is very important to use caution when adding loads to the
generator. Use the following steps as a guide to protect the generator and provide
safety for those who use it.
1. With nothing connected to generator, start engine by following steps outlined in
this manual.
2. Plug in and turn on first load. This should be the largest load.
3. Allow generator output to stabilize. This will be when engine runs smoothly and
attached load functions normally.
4. Plug in and turn on next load.
5. Again, allow generator output to stabilize. This will be when engine runs
smoothly and attached load functions normally.
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.
• NEVER start or stop generator engine with electrical devices plugged in and/or
turned on. Damage to both electrical devices and generator can occur.
• Ensure generator is sitting on a level surface.
• When starting generator engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt, then
pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
Whenever excessive fuel is present in the air/fuel
mixture, a “flooding” condition can occur.
Move choke lever to
“RUN”
position and pull starter cord handle repeatedly until engine starts.
• Start engine and wait until engine runs at a stabilized speed before connecting
to electrical loads.
•
DO NOT
expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt or corrosive vapors..
•
DO NOT
operate generator in rain.
•
DO NOT
allow unqualified persons to operate or maintain generator.
SHUT GENERATOR OFF IF:
• Electrical Output is lost.
• Various components spark, smoke, or emits flames.
• Generator vibrates excessively.
OUTLETS AND CIRCUIT PROTECTORS
Overloaded electrical cords can overheat, arc and burn
resulting in property damage, severe burns and even death.
Only use cords rated for the equipment it’s being used on.
Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual for use of
extension cords.
Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize voltage drop.
Plugs NOT INCLUDED with generator.
Outlets may be marked with rating value greater than generator
capacity.
Never attempt to power a device requiring more amperage
than generator or extension cord can supply. Do not overload genera-
tor because of risk of damage to equipment, fire or explosion.
