2.4.1 120VAC,20 AMP,GFC/DUPLEXRECEPTACLE
This is a 120 Volt outletprotected against overloadby a 20 Amp
push-to-resetcircuit breaker (Figure6). Useeach socketto power
120 Volt AO, single phase,60 Hzelectricalloadsrequiringupto a
combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Useonly
high quality, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for
125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
Keep extensioncords as short as possible, preferablyless than
15 feet long, to preventvoltagedrop and possibleoverheatingof
wires.
2.4.2 120/240 VAC,30 AMPRECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock!
unlock). Oonnecta suitable4-wire groundedcord set to the plug
andto thedesiredtoad.The cord set should be ratedfor 250 Volts
ACat30 Amps (or greater)(Figure6).
Use this receptacleto operate120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiringup to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps
or 240 Volt AC,60 Hz,single phaseloadsrequiring6,500 to 8000
watts of power,dependingonthe model.The outletis protectedby

2.5 HOW TO USETHEGENERATOR
Seethe "To Start the Engine"section for how to safely start and
stop the generator and 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 can you cannot see or smell.
This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or
even death.
_t 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 manufacturers instructions.
Using a generator indoors CAN KiLL YOU IN MINUTES,
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is
a poison you cannot see or smell.
NEVER use inside a home
or garage, EVEN IF doors
and windows are open.
Only use OUTSIDE and
far away from windows,
doors, and vents.
