2.3.3 120 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L5-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 3-wire cord set
rated for 125 Volts AC at 30 Amps (or greater) to the plug (Figure 9).
Figure 9 - 120 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads
requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps. The outlet is
protected by a 30 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker.
2.3.4 120/240 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a suitable 4-wire
grounded cord set to the plug and to the desired load. The cord set should
be rated for 250 Volts AC at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 10).
Figure 10 - 120/240 VAC, 30 Amp Receptacle
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads
requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps or 240 Volt AC,
60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 7200 watts (7.2 kW) of power
at 30 Amps. The outlet is protected by two 30 Amp push-to-reset circuit
breakers.
2.3.5 12 VOLT DC, 10 AMP RECEPTACLE
This receptacle permits recharging a 12-Volt automotive or utility style
storage battery with the battery charge cables provided (Figure 11).
This receptacle can not recharge 6-Volt batteries and can not be used to
crank an engine having a discharged battery. See the section "Charging a
Battery" before attempting to recharge a battery.

HOW TO USE THE GENERATOR

If there are any problems operating the generator, please call the generator
helpline at 1-888-436-3722.
2.4.1 GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and external
electrically conductive parts of this generator be properly connected
to an approved earth ground (Figure 13). Local electrical codes may
also require proper grounding of the unit. For that purpose, generally,
connecting a No. 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire to
the grounding wing nut and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding
rod (electrode) provides adequate protection against electrical shock.
However, local codes may vary widely. Consult with a local electrician
for grounding requirements in the area.
