Connecting Electrical Loads; Cord Sets And Receptacles - Craftsman 580.326311 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.
NOTICE
Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity can
damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.
• DO NOT exceed the generator's wattage/amperage capacity. See
Don't Overload Generator in the Operation section.
• 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.
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.
WARNING

CORD SETS AND RECEPTACLES

Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension
cords with the generator's 120 Volt duplex receptacle.
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 to minimize
voltage drop.
Overloaded electrical cords can overheat, arc,
and burn resulting in death, bodily injury, and/or
property damage.
• ONLY use cords rated for your loads.
• Follow all safeties on electrical cords.
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.
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.
