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 20 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.
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or
greater). 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 7,200 watts of power (7.2 kW) at
30 Amps for 240 Volts or two independent 120 Volt loads at
30 Amps each. The outlet is protected by a 30 Amp rocker
switch circuit breaker.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles
Each 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 2,400 watts (2.4 kW) at
20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for 125 Volt
AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater). Inspect cord sets before
each use.
Generator Adapter Cord Set
The generator is equipped with a 25’ generator adapter cord
set designed for a 240 Volt, 30 Amp grounded neutral circuit.
The maximum load on each outlet is 15 Amps. The maximum
total load on both yellow wire outlets or black wire outlets is
30 Amps. Each outlet is protected by a 15 Amp fuse.
NOTE:
Follow all safety precautions when connecting any
extension cord or device to the generator.
Battery Charger
Use battery float charger jack to keep the starting battery
charged and ready for use. Battery charging should be done in a
dry location, such as inside a garage.
1. Plug charger into unit’s “Battery Float Charger” jack,
which is located next to the start switch. Plug battery
charger into a 120 Volt AC wall receptacle.
2. Unplug charger from unit and wall outlet when generator
is being started and while it is in operation.
3. Keep this charger plugged in when generator is not in
use to prolong battery life. The charger has a built in
float equalizer and will not overcharge the battery, even
when plugged in for an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT:
See
Battery Maintenance
for additional
information.
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.

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.
