Stopping the Engine
1. Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from generator
panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine with
electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Turn engine off according to instructions given in the
engine operator’s manual.
4. Move fuel valve to “Off” position.
RECEPTACLES
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14–30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or
greater) (Figure 5).You can use the same 4–wire cord if you
plan to run a 120 Volt load.
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 5,550 watts of power
(5.55 kW) at 23.1 Amps for 240 Volts or two independent
120 Volt loads at 23.1 Amps each.The outlet is protected
by a double pole rocker switch circuit breaker.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacles
Both duplex receptacles (Figure 6) are protected against
overload by a double pole rocker switch circuit breaker.
Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single–phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW)
at 20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for
125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).
GENERATOR ADAPTER
CORD SET
The generator comes with a 25’ generator adapter cord set
designed to provide two sets of 120 Volt, 20 Amp outlets from
one 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacle (Figure 7).
The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps.The
maximum total load on both black wire outlets or white
stripe wire outlets is 20 Amps.
NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting any
extension cord or device to the generator.
Figure 6 — 120 Volt, 20 Amp Duplex Receptacle
• NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage
than generator or receptacle can supply.
• DO NOT overload the generator. See “Don’t Overload
Generator”.
Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater
than generator output capacity.
