Your generator is supplied with a 25 foot 10 GA SJTW
4-conductor 105ºC power cord set. This cord is equipped with
an L14-30P twistlock Plug, on one end, which will plug directly
into the mating twistlock receptacle on the control panel of your
generator. The opposite end comes equipped with a special 4
circuit connector comprised of four 5-20R receptacles. These
may be used to power individual loads. Make sure the loads
do not exceed the 20 amp rating of the Power Cord Set.
Circuit breaker protection is provided for on the control panel of
your generator.
You will notice that the 4-circuit connector is color coded
with gray and yellow receptacles. When several loads are
powered at the same time, it is best to keep equal loads
supplied to each separately colored half, if possible. The gray
half and the yellow half of the connector are each capable of
sustaining 20 amps of current provided your generator is
capable of supplying 4800 watts of power. Check nameplate
ratings for total wattage capability of the generator.
