Cord Sets and Receptacles
Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension
cords with the generator's receptacles. Inspect extension
cords before each use.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use
them. Extension cord sets used should be rated for AC loads
20 Amps or greater. Check operator's manuals of devices to
be powered for the manufacturer's recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize
voltage drop.
WARNING Damaged or overloaded electrical cords
could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in death,
serious injury, and/or property damage.
• ONLY use cords rated for your loads.
• Follow all safeties on electrical cords.
• Inspect cord sets before each use.
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 (or
greater). You can use the same 4-wire cord if you plan to run
a 120 Volt load.

NEMA L14-30
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 6,000 watts of power (6.0 kW) at
25 Amps for 240 Volts or two independent 120 Volt loads at
25 Amps each. The outlet is protected by a 2 pole rocker
switch circuit breaker.
NOTICE Receptacles may be marked with rating value
greater than generator output capacity.
• 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.

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles
The duplex receptacles are protected against overload by
push–to–reset circuit breakers.
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. Use cord sets that are rated for 125 Volt
AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).
