CordSets andReceptacles
Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension
cords with the generator's 120 Volt duplex receptacle.
Inspect extension cords before each use.
Checkthe ratings of all extensioncords beforeyou use
them. Extension cord sets usedshould 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. Checkthe operator's manuals of those
devices for the manufacturer's recommendations.
Keepextension cords as short as possible to minimize
voltage drop.
_k WARNING Overloadedelectrical cords can overheat,
arc, and burn resulting in death, bodily injury,
and/or property damage.

120/240 Volt AC,30 Amp, LockingReceptacle
Use a NEIVIAL14-30 plug with this receptacle.Connect a
4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or
greater). You can use the same4-wire cord if you plan to
run a 120 Volt load.

This receptaclepowers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 6,200 watts of power (6.2 kW) at
25.8 Amps for 240 Volts or two independent 120 Volt loads
at 25.8 Amps each.The outlet is protected by a push-to-
resetcircuit breaker.
NOTICE Receptacles may be marked with rating value
greater than generator output capacity.
NEVERattempt to power a device requiring more amperagethan
generator or receptacle can supply.
DONOToverload the generator. SeeDon't OverloadGenerator.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, DuplexReceptacles
Both duplex receptaclesare protected against overload by a
push-to-reset circuit breaker.
