CONNECTOR PLUGS
120 Volt AC, 15 Amp Receptacle
Each outlet socket is protected against overload by a
7.5 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each receptacle
to operate 120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads
requiring up to 1,000 watts (1.0 kW) of power (Figure 4).
12 Volt DC Accessory Jack
This receptacle 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 this outlet (Figure 5).
This receptacle can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and can
not be used to crank an engine having a discharged battery.
See “Charging a Battery” (page 9) before attempting to
recharge a battery.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only high quality, well-insulated, extension cords with
the generator’s 120 Volt electrical receptacles.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use
them. Such cords 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 owner’s manuals of those devices for their
recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less
than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible
overheating of wires.
COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4°C] combined with high humidity), your generator
may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the
crankcase breather system. To reduce this problem, you
need to perform the following:
1. Make sure generator has clean, fresh fuel.
2. Open fuel valve (turn valve to open position).
3. Use SAE 5W-30 oil (synthetic preferred, see engine
manual).
4. Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours of
operation.
5. Maintain generator following “Maintenance Schedule”
in engine manual.
6. Shelter unit from elements.

• 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”.
Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater
than generator output capacity.
