Using as a Portable
Power Source When using the generator as a portable power source, you can plug electric
devices and appliances directly into the generator’s electrical outlets.
There are four different kinds of electrical outlets on the generator:
1. Four 120 Volt, 20 Amp Duplex Straight-Blade receptacles (NEMA 5-20R
duplex receptacles compatible with NEMA 5-20P or 5-15P mating plugs).
2. One 120 Volt, 30 Amp Locking receptacle (NEMA L5-30R compatible with
NEMA L5-30P mating plugs).
3. One 120/240 Volt, 30 Amp Locking receptacle (NEMA L14-30R compatible
with NEMA L14-30P mating plugs).
4. One 120/240 Volt, 41.7 Amp Straight Blade receptacle (NEMA 14-50R
compatible with NEMA 14-50P mating plugs).

Make sure you plug each electrical device/appliance into the correct generator
outlet based on the device’s plug configuration and voltage/amperage rating.
Never exceed the amperage rating of an outlet.

Extension cords may be used to power devices that are located at a distance from
the generator. However, use only UL-listed, outdoor-rated, grounded extension
cords of the proper size. Use Table 2 below to choose an adequately sized
extension cord according to the amperage of the device being used and the length
of the cord.

WARNING: Use of undersized extension cords can cause electric shock,
fire, or damage to connected devices.

All extension and appliance cords must be in good condition and not worn, bare,
frayed, or otherwise damaged.
WARNING: Use of damaged electric cords can cause electric shock or fire.
Note: If an extension cord becomes hot to the touch, it is overloaded or damaged and
must be replaced. Northern Tool is NOT responsible for damage or injury resulting from
customer use of inadequate extension cords.
