CORD SETS AND CONNECTOR PLUGS
12o VOLTS DUPLEX RECEPTACLE
Use only high quality, well-insulated, extension cords with
the 120-vott "duplex" type electrical receptacles,, All cord
sets used should be rated 125 volts at 20 AC amps or
greater for most electrical devices Keep extension cords
as short as possible, preferably less than I5 feet long to
prevent voltage drop and wires from overheating
t20 VOLTS, 20 AND 30 AMP RECEPTACLES:
For the 120 volts, 20 amp locking type NEMA L5-20R
receptacle, a well-insulated cord set wilh a NEMA
L5-20P locking type connector plug must be properly
connected to the receptacle and to the desired 120
volts, single phase, 60 Hz, AC load Cord sets should
be rated 20 AC amperes at 125 votts (or greater) for
most electrical devices (Fig 3)
° For 120 volts, 30 amp locking type NEMA L5-30R
receptacle, a well-insulated cord set with a NEMA
L5-30P locking type connector plug must be properly
connected to the receptacle and the desired 120 volts,
single phase, 60 Hz, AC load The cord set should be
rated 30 AC amperes at 125 volts (or greater) for most
electrical devices (Fig 3)
120/240 VOLTS, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE:
A t20/240 volts, 30 amp, locking type type mating connec-
tor plug (Fig 4) is required when using this receptacle A
4-wire cord set, rated 30 AC amperes at 250 voJts (or
greater), is required and must be connected to the plug and
to the desired loads Order NEMA type L14-30P

240 VOLTS, 50 AMP RECEPTACLE
This receptacle is rated 50 AC amperes at 250 volts You
need a 3-prong grounded connector plug with same rating
to use with this outlet Although current capacity of outlet
is rated at 50 amps, loads applied through this outlet should
not exceed 333 amps or you will overload the generator,
