The voltage selector switch switches the main power carrying
windings of the generator to produce ‘‘120V ONLY’’ or ‘‘120/240V’’. If a
240V appliance is connected to the 4-prong receptacle, the switch
must be in the ‘‘120/240V’’ position. If only a 120V appliance is being
connected to any of the 120V 3-prong receptacles, select the ‘‘120V
ONLY’’ position.
ONLY the 120V receptacles can be used. Do not use the
120/240V receptacle in this position. The most power
will be available at the 30A 120V locking plug
receptacle.
The 120V and 120/240V receptacles can be used
simultaneously.
Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician,
electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes
or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
The generator ground terminal is connected to the frame of the
generator, the metal non-current-carrying parts of the generator, and
the ground terminals of each receptacle.
