Connecting Electrical Loads; Stopping The Engine - Craftsman 580.326310 Instrucciones De Uso

Connecting Electrical Loads

• Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting.
• DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to 120 Volt receptacles.
• DO NOT connect 3–phase loads to the generator.
• DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC, single
phase, 60 Hertz electrical loads.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See
"Don't Overload Generator".
CAUTION
Exceeding generator's wattage/amperage capacity
can damage generator and/or electrical devices
connected to it.
• See "Don't Overload Generator".
• Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting
electrical loads.
• Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON
for operation.
• Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator
before stopping generator.

Stopping the Engine

1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads from unit.
NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices
plugged in and turned on.
2. Let engine run at no-load for two minutes to
stabilize unit's internal temperatures.
3. Move engine rocker switch to "Off" position.
WARNING
Backfire, fire or engine damage could occur.
• DO NOT stop engine by moving choke lever to "Choke"
position.
4. Move fuel valve to "Off" position.
CORD SETS AND RECEPTACLES
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".
Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded
extension cords with the generator's 120 Volt electrical
receptacles. Inspect extension cords before each use.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you
use them. Extension cord sets used should be rated
for 125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps or greater for most
electrical devices. Some devices, however, may not
require this type of extension cord. Check the
operator's manuals of those devices for the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably
less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and
possible overheating of wires.
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). You can use the same 4–wire
cord if you plan to run a 120 Volt load.
4-Wire Cord Set
Y (Hot)
NEMA L14-30
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 6,300 watts of power
(6.3 kW) at 26.2 Amps for 240 Volts or two
independent 120 Volt loads at 26.2 Amps each. The
outlet is protected by a double pole rocker switch
circuit breaker.
