RECEPTACLES
Use only high quality, well-insulated,
extension cords
with the generator's electrical receptacles. Check the
ratings of all extension cords before you use them.
Extension cords 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, to prevent voltage drop and possible
overheating of wires.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp Receptacles
Each receptacle of this pair is protected against
overload by a single 20 Amp push-to-reset type of
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.
_
AUTION!
Although each receptacle socket is
rated for 120 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps
(2,400 watts or 2.4 kW), this generator is rated
for a total output of 3,800 watts. Powering loads
that exceed the generator's wattage capacity
can damage it or cause serious injuries. The
total number of 120 Volt loads powered through
these receptacles should not exceed 20 Amps.
120/240 Volt AC, 20 Amp Receptacle
This is a full capacity receptacle, which means you
can take the generator's full rated wattage from this
single receptacle. The outlet is protected by a 20 Amp
push-to-reset
circuit breaker.

CAUTION!
Although this receptacle is rated for
240 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (4,800 watts or
4.8 kW), this generator is rated for a total output
of 3,800 watts. Powering loads that exceed the
generator's wattage capacity can damage it or
cause serious injuries. The total number of
240 Volt loads powered through this receptacle
should not exceed 20 Amps.
120 Volt AC, 30 Amp Receptacle
Use a NEMA L5-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect
a 3-wire cord set rated for 125 Volts AC at 30 Amps to
the plug.
