Receptacles
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4-wire cord set (A) rated for 250 Volt AC loads at
30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 4). You can use the same
4-wire cord if you plan to run a 120 Volt load.
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 5,550 watts of power
(5.55 kW) at 23.1 Amps for 240 Volts or two independent
120 Volt loads at 23.1 Amps each. The outlet is protected
by a double pole rocker switch circuit breaker.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles
Both duplex receptacles (Figure 5) are protected against
overload by a double pole rocker switch 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. Use cord sets that are rated for
125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater). Inspect cord
sets before each use.
Generator Adapter Cord Set
The generator comes with a 25' generator adapter cord
set designed to provide two sets of 120 Volt, 20 Amp
outlets from one 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacle
(Figure 6).
The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps. The
maximum total load on both black wire outlets or white
stripe wire outlets is 20 Amps.
NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting any
extension cord or device to the generator.

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 in
the Operation section.
Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater
than generator output capacity.
