RECEPTACLES
A double pole rocker switch circuit breaker is provided
to protect all the receptacles and generator against
electrical overload.
110/220 Volt AC, 20 Amp Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14-20 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volts AC at 20 Amps (or
greater) (Figure 5).You can use the same 4-wire cord if
you plan to run a 120 Volt load.
This receptacle powers 110/220 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 1,800 watts of power at
15.0 Amps for 110 Volts; 3,600 watts of power (3.6 kW)
at 15.0 Amps for 220 Volts.The outlet is protected by a
double pole rocker switch circuit breaker.
IMPORTANT: This generator’s locking receptacle is not
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
110 Volt AC, 15 Amp, GFCI Duplex
Receptacles
Each duplex receptacle (Figure 6) is protected against
overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.
NOTE: If the double pole circuit breaker is tripped, the
duplex receptacles are disconnected.
Use each receptacle to operate 110 Volt AC,
single–phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to
1,800 watts (1.8 kW) at 15 Amps of current. Use cord
sets that are rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 15 Amps (or
greater). Inspect cord sets before each use.
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”.
Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater
than generator output capacity.
