RECEPTACLES
CAUTION
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".
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacles
Each duplex receptacle (Figure 5) is protected against
overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.
Figure 5 — 120 Volt, 20 Amp Duplex Receptacle
Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single–phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW)
at 20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for
125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).
GENERATOR ADAPTER
CORD SET
The generator comes with a 25' generator adapter cord set
designed to provide two sets of 120 Volt, 20 Amp outlets from
one 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacle (Figure 6).
Figure 6 — Generator Adapter Cord Set
The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps.The
maximum total load on both black wire outlets or white
stripe wire outlets is 20 Amps.
NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting any
extension cord or device to the generator.
