Step 4: Connecting Electrical Loads
Using Extension Cords
Use only grounded extension cords marked for outdoor use
rated for your loads . Follow cord safety instructions .
WARNING! Damaged or overloaded extension
cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in
death or serious injury .
NOTICE For best results when plugging into the 120 Volt
GFCI receptacles, plug items to be powered in sequence as
shown .
NOTICE For generator output required see Generator
Capacity. Connect electrical loads in off position then turn
on for operation .
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex Receptacles
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 .

Ground Fault Protection
The duplex receptacles are equipped with Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection . The GFCI protects
against electrical shock that may be caused if your body
becomes a path which electricity travels to reach ground .
When protected by a GFCI, one may still feel a shock, but
the GFCI is intended to cut current off quickly enough
so that a person in normal health should not suffer any
serious electrical injury .
WARNING! Generator voltage could cause
electrical shock or burn resulting in death or
serious injury . Contact with the hot and neutral
conductor at the same time could cause electrical shock
or burn, even if the circuit is GFCI protected .
Testing the GFCI
With the engine running, test your GFCI outlet prior to
each use, as follows:
• Push the "Test" button . The "Reset" button should
pop out, which should allow no power to reach the
outlet .
• Press the "Reset" button firmly until it is fully in
place and locks in that position . If the GFCI outlet
does not reset properly, do not use the outlet . Call or
take your generator to a local service center .
• If the GFCI trips by itself at any time, reset and test
the outlet .
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle . Connect a
4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps .
The generator's locking receptacle is not protected by a
GFCI.
