CORD SETS AND RECEPTACLES
I cAuTmo. 1
• 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".
Use only high quality, weGinsulated, extension cords
with the generator's 120 Volt electrical receptacles.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you
use them. Extension cord sets used should 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. Check the owner's
manuals of those devices for the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably
less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and
possible overheating of wires.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp Duplex Receptacle
Each receptacle is protected against overload by a
single 15 Amp push-to-reset 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.
120/240 Volt AC, 20 Amp Receptacle
This is a full capacity receptacle; it can supply the
generator's full rated output from this sole outlet. The
outlet is protected by two 15 Amp push-to-reset
circuit breakers.

NEMA L14-20 /_7 Ground (Green)
A NEMA L14-20 plug is used with this 240 Volt
receptacle. Connect a suitable 4-wire cord set to the
plug and to the desired load. The cord set should be
rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4°C] combined with high humidity), your
Craftsman generator may experience icing of the
carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system. To
reduce this problem, you need to perform the foJlowing:
1. Make sure generator has clean, fresh fuel.
2. Open fuel valve (turn valve to open position).
3. Use SAE 5W-30 oiJ (synthetic preferred, see
page 7).
4. Check oil Jevel daiJy or after every eight (8) hours
of operation.
5. Maintain the generator folJowing the "Maintenance
Schedule" on page 14.
6. SheJter unit from elements.
