The generator cannot power your entire home -- you must work with the
installing electrician to determine which devices/appliances you wish to
power during an outage. The electrician can help you determine which
circuits and devices can be powered simultaneously without overloading the
generator.
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 two different kinds of electrical outlets on the generator:
1. Two 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 120/240 Volt, 20 Amp Locking receptacle (NEMA L14-20R)
compatible with NEMA L14-20P mating plugs).
(See more technical detail about these receptacles and their associated
circuit breakers in the “Machine Component Identification” section of this
manual.)
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.
