2.3.1 120 VAC,20 AMP,DUPLEX RECEPTACLE
This is a 120 Volt outlet protectedagainst overloadby a 20 Amp
push-to-reset circuit breaker (Figure6). Use each socket to power
120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiringup to a
combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Use only
high quality, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for
125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
Keep extensioncords as short as possible, preferably less than
15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of
wires.

2.3.2 120/240VAC, 3 0 AMPRECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock!
unlock). Oonnecta suitable 4-wire grounded cord set to the plug
and to the desiredtoad. The cord set should be ratedfor 250 Volts
AC at 30 Amps (or greater)(Figure7).
120V/240V
30A
Use this receptacleto operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps
or 240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 7200
watts (7.2 kW) of power at 30 Amps. The outlet is protected by
two 25 Amp (5.0/5.5kW) or two 30 Amp (6.5kW) push-to-reset
circuit breakers.
2.4 HOW TO USETHEGENERATOR
If there are any problems operatingthe generator,pleasecall the
generatorhelplineat 1-888-GENERAC.
2.4.1 GROUNDING THEGENERATOR
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of this generator be
properly connectedto an approved earth ground (Figure 8).
Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
unit. Forthat purpose, connectinga No. 10 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding lug and to an
earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides
adequateprotectionagainst electricalshock. However,local codes
may vary widely. Consultwith a local electricianfor grounding
requirements in the area.
