(CARBONLY)
This is a 120 Volt outlet protectedagainst overloadby a 20 Amp
push-to-reset circuit breaker (Figure 6A). Use each socket to
power 120 Volt AO,single phase,60 Hz electricalloadsrequiring
upto a combined2400 watts (2.4 kW)or 20 Amps of current.Use
only high quality,well-insulated,3-wire groundedcord sets rated
for 125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
Keepextensioncords as short as possibleto preventvoltagedrop

2.4 HOW TO USETHEGENERATOR
Seethe "To Start the Engine"sectionfor how to safelystart and
stop the generatorand how to connect and disconnect loads. If
there are any problems operatingthe generator,pleasecall the
generatorhelplineat 1-888-436-3722.
_t ever operate in an enclosed area or indoors!
NEVER use in the home, in a vehicle, or in
partly enclosed areas such as garages, EVEN
IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use
outdoors and far from open windows, doors,
vents, and in an area that will not accumulate
deadly exhaust.
_t The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which you cannot see or smell.
This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or
even death.
,_Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and
ventilating air is critical to correct generator
operation. Do not alter the installation or permit
even partial blockage of ventilation provisions,
as this can seriously affect safe operation
of the generator. The generator MUST be
operated outdoors.
_t This exhaust system must be properly
maintained. Do nothing that might render the
exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance
with any local codes and/or standards.
_t Always use a battery operated carbon
monoxide alarm indoors, installed according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
