CORDSETSAND RECEPTACLES
Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension
cords with the generator's 120 Volt duplex receptacle.
Inspect extension cords before each use.
Checkthe ratings of all extension cords before you use them.
Extensioncord 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. Checkthe operator's manuals of those
devicesfor the manufacturer's recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize
voltage drop.
WARNING
_ verloaded electrical cords can overheat, arc,
and burn resulting in death, bodily injury, and/or
property damage.
• ONLYusecords ratedfor your loads.
. Followall safeties on electrical c ords.
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, LockingReceptacle
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or
greater). You can use the same 4-wire cord if you plan to
run a 120 Volt load.

This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz,single phase
loads requiring up to 5,600 watts of power (5.6 kW) at
23.3 Amps for 240 Volts or two independent 120 Volt loads
at 23.3 Amps each. The outlet is protected by a double pole
rocker switch circuit breaker.
