Portable Generator
10
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacles
Each duplex receptacle (Figure 10) is protected against
overload by a push–to–reset 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).
CAUTION! These outlets are rated at 120 Volt
20 Amps each (up to 80 Amps).The generator may
only be rated for up to 27 Amps. Powering loads
that exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of the
generator can damage it or cause serious injuries.
COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your generator may
experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase
breather system.
Build a structure that will enclose three sides and the top
of the generator:
• Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed.
Note that your generator may appear different from that
shown in Figure 11.
• Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between open
side of box and nearest object.
• Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
• Enclosure should hold enough heat created by the
generator to prevent problems.
CAUTION ! NEVER run unit indoors. DO NOT
enclose generator any more than shown. Remove
generator from shelter when temperature is above
40°F [4°C].
