USING RECEPTACLE
Note:
Do not exceed amperage rating of
receptacles. Exceeding rating will trip re-
ceptacle circuit breaker.
Use receptacles properly. Improper use could
damage generator. Use only grounded exten-
sion cords. Power only grounded or double-
insulated items. Do not overload receptacles.
The generators have the following receptacles
(see Figure 16):
• 120V, 15-amp GFCI duplex receptacle
• 120V, 20-amp duplex receptacle
• 120V, 30-amp twist-lock receptacle
• 120/240V, 20-amp twist-lock receptacle
(MGH8500AIE only)
• 120/240V, 30-amp twist-lock receptacle
• 1 2 0 / 2 4 0 V, 5 0 - a m p r e c e p t a c l e
(MGH10000C only)
DANGER: Never connect gen-
erator to any existing electrical
circuits. The generator output will
back-feed into the utility power
line. This may electrocute a power
company line repair person. Also,
if generator is powering electrical
circuits, the chance of an electri-
cal fire exists.
DANGER: Use only in well-
vented areas. Make sure area
has plenty of free-moving, fresh,
outside air. Never run generator
in an enclosed or confined area.
Never run generator inside oc-
cupied building. Engine exhaust
contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas. Overexposure will
cause loss of consciousness and
will lead to death.
