2.2 CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS

2.2.1 120 VAC DUPLEX RECEPTACLE

This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 15 Amp circuit
breaker (Figure 7). 15 Amps of current may be drawn from each socket,
however, total power drawn must be kept within data plate ratings. Use only
high quality, well insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for 125 Volts at
20 Amps (or greater).

2.3 HOW TO USE THE GENERATOR

If there are any problems operating the generator, please call the
generator helpline at 1-888-436-3722.

Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors!
NEVER use in the home, in a vehicle, or in
partly enclosed areas such as garages, EVEN
IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use
outdoors and far from open windows, doors,
vents, and in an area that will not accumulate
deadly exhaust.

The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which can you cannot see or smell.
This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or
even death.

Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and
ventilating air is critical to correct generator
operation. Do not alter the installation or
permit even partial blockage of ventilation
provisions, as this can seriously affect safe
operation of the generator. The generator
MUST be operated outdoors.

This exhaust system must be properly
maintained. Do nothing that might render the
exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance
with any local codes and/or standards.

Always use a battery operated carbon
monoxide alarm indoors, installed according to
the manufacturer's instructions.

2.3.1 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

This generator has an equipment ground that connects the generator
frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output
receptacles (see NEC 250.34 (A) for explanation). This allows the
generator to be used as a portable without grounding the frame of the
generator as specified in NEC 250.34.
2.3.1.1 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that
apply to the intended use of the generator.
Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local
agency having jurisdiction:
In some areas, generators are required to be registered with local
utility companies.
If the generator is used at a construction site, there may be additional
regulations which must be observed.
