OPERATION
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 30 seconds to stabilize
internal temperatures of engine and alternator.
3.
Turn engine off according to instructions given in
engine operator's manual.
4.
Move fuel valve to "Off" position.
RECEPTACLES
CAUTION
Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater
than generator output capacity.
• 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".
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 11).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 2,775 watts of power at
23.1 Amps for 120 Volts; 5,550 watts of power (5.55 kW)
at 23.1 Amps for 240 Volts.The outlet is protected by a
push–to–reset circuit breaker.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacles
Each duplex receptacle (Figure 12) is protected against
overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.
Figure 12 — 120 Volt, 20 Amp Duplex Receptacle
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).
