Outlets And Circuit Protectors; Connecting To Generator Outlets - Snap-On 870828 Manual De Instrucciones

• NEVER start or stop generator engine with electrical devices plugged in and/or
turned on. Damage to both electrical devices and generator can occur.
• Ensure generator is sitting on a level surface.
• When starting generator engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt, then
pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
Whenever excessive fuel is present in the air/fuel
mixture, a "flooding" condition can occur. Move choke lever to "RUN"
position and pull starter cord handle repeatedly until engine starts.
• Start engine and wait until engine runs at a stabilized speed before connecting
to electrical loads.
• DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt or corrosive vapors..
• DO NOT operate generator in rain.
• DO NOT allow unqualified persons to operate or maintain generator.
SHUT GENERATOR OFF IF:
• Electrical Output is lost.
• Various components spark, smoke, or emits flames.
• Generator vibrates excessively.

OUTLETS AND CIRCUIT PROTECTORS

Overloaded electrical cords can overheat, arc and burn
resulting in property damage, severe burns and even death.
Only use cords rated for the equipment it's being used on.
Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual for use of
extension cords.
Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize voltage drop.
Plugs NOT INCLUDED with generator.
Outlets may be marked with rating value greater than generator
capacity. Never attempt to power a device requiring more amperage
than generator or extension cord can supply. Do not overload genera-
tor because of risk of damage to equipment, fire or explosion.

120/240V AC, 30A, LOCKING
OUTLET:
Use this outlet to operate 120V or
240V AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 21A.
The outlet is protected by press-
to-reset circuit protectors. If
protectors pop due to appliance
overload, remove the loads and
wait for a minute for the protec-
tors to cool down and then press
to reset.
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug (not
provided) with this outlet.
Connect a 4-wire cord set rated
for 250V AC loads at 30A to the
plug. Same 4-wire cord can run a
120V load.
120V AC, 20A DUPLEX OUTLET:
Use this duplex outlet to operate 120V AC, 60
Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 20A each
outlet at a time.
The outlet is protected by press-to-reset circuit
protectors. If protectors pop due to appliance
overload, remove the loads and wait for a
minute for the protectors to cool down and then press to rest.
Use only high quality, UL-rated, well-insulated, grounded extension cords that are
intended for outdoor use with generator's 120V AC duplex outlet. It is important to
inspect all extension cords for damaged plugs and cracked or cut insulation before
every use.
Check ratings for extension cords to ensure they are large enough for use with 120V
AC with loads of 20A or greater applications for most electrical devices. Some
devices, however, may not require an extension cord with this rating. Check the
operator's manual of each device before connecting to generator and follow manu-
facturer's recommendations.

CONNECTING TO GENERATOR OUTLETS

In order to prevent damage and prolong the life of the generator and any attached appli-
ances or tools, it is very important to use caution when adding loads to the generator.
Use the following steps as a guide to protect the generator and provide safety for those
who use it.
