2.5.1.1 — 120 VAC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacle
This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a
20 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker (Figure 2-9). Use
each socket to power a NEMA 5-15P or 5-20P, 120 Volt
AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up 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 extension cords as short as possible, preferably
less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possi-
ble overheating of wires.

Figure 2-10. 120/240 VAC, 30 Amp
Receptacle
Use this receptacle to 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 7,200 watts of power. The outlet is pro-
tected by two 25 Amp (5.5 kW) or two 30 Amp (7.0 kW)
push to reset or one 25 Amp or one 30 Amp 2 pole toggle
switch to reset (7.0 kW) circuit breaker.
2.5.2 — Extension Cord (if equipped)
Your generator comes with a 20 foot extension cord for
connecting appliances and other electrical devices to the
generator.
Never start or stop the engine with electrical devices
plugged into generator and devices turned on.
The colored dots on the extension cord are indicators for
evenly applying the loads to the generator. For example,
if two electrical devices are plugged in, place one into a
red labeled outlet and the other into a blue labeled outlet,
rather than two red or two blue outlets (Figure 2-11).
