Connecting Electrical Loads; Cord Sets And Receptacles - Craftsman 580.326300 Instrucciones De Uso

3. Move rocker switch to "Off" position.
4. Move fuel valve to "Off" position.
CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS
• 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.
• Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes
after starting.
• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt
AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD GENERATOR. See"Don't
Overload Generator".
CORD SETS AND RECEPTACLES
Use only high quality, weGinsulated, extension cords
with the generator's 120 Volt electrical receptacles.
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 owner's
manuals of those devices for the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably
less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and
possible overheating of wires.
CAUTION
i
• 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 Receptacle
Each receptacle is protected against overload by a
single 20 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. 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.
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp Receptacle
This is a full capacity receptacle; it can supply the
generator's full rated output from this sole outlet. The
outlet is protected by two 30 Amp push-to-reset
circuit breakers.
4-Wire Cord Set
/
1
NEMA L14-30
(Neutral)
Y (Hot) _ X (Hot)
Ground (Green)
A NEMA L14-30 plug is used with this 240 Volt
receptacle. Connect a suitable 4-wire cord set to the
plug and to the desired load. The cord set should be
rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or greater).
How to Use the Battery Charger
Use battery 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 "12V DC Battery Charger"
jack, which is located on control panel. Plug
battery charger into a 120 Volt AC wall rece )tacle.
y
2. Unplug charger from unit and wall outlet when
generator is being started and while in operation.
3. Keep 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 battery,
even when plugged in for an extended period of
time.
IMPORTANT: See "Battery Maintenance" on page 13
for additional information.
