OPERATION
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".
120/240 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) (Figure 6).You can use the same 4–wire cord if you
plan to run a 120 Volt load.

NEMA L14-30
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 6,500 watts of power (6.5 kW)
at 27 Amps for 120 Volts or 240 Volts.The outlet is
protected by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.

Figure 7 — 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).
BATTERY CHARGER
Use battery float charger jack to keep the starting battery
charged and ready for use. Battery charging should be done
in a dry location, such as inside a garage.
1.
Plug charger into unit's "Battery Float Charger" jack,
which is located on the starter switch (Figure 8). Plug
battery charger into a 120 Volt AC wall receptacle.
Figure 8 — Battery Charger Jack
2.
Unplug charger from unit and wall outlet when
generator is being started and while it is in operation.
3.
Keep this charger plugged in when generator is not in
use to prolong battery life.The charger has a built in
float equalizer and will not overcharge the battery,
even when plugged in for an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT: See "Battery Maintenance" on page 14 for
additional information.
