60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 3,500 watts of power (3.5 kW)
at 14.6 Amps for 240Volts
or two independent
i20Voit
loads at 14.6 Amps each.The oudet is protected
by
push-to-reset
circuit breakers.
Use each receptacle to operate
120VokAC,
single-phase,
60 Hz electrical
loads requiring up to 1,750 watts
(1.75 kW) at 14.6 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are
rated for 125Vok AC loads at 15 Amps (or greater).
COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
Under certain weather conditions
(temperatures
below
40°F [4°C] combined with high humidity}, your generator
may experience
icing of the carburetor
and/or the
