Figure 6 - 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacle
2.2.2 120 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L5-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock/unlock).
Connect a 3-wire cord set rated for 125 Volts AC at 30 Amps (or
greater) to the plug (Figure 7).
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.

2.2.3 120/240 VAC, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock/unlock).
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 8).

Figure 8 - 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.
2.2.4 GROUND FAULT SENSING MODULE
This unit is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). This
device meets applicable federal, state and local codes. The ground
fault sensing module covers all receptacles.
In the event of a ground fault, the GFCI will trip and quickly stop the
flow of electricity to prevent serious injury.
Definition: The GFCI constantly monitors electricity flowing in a
circuit. If the current flowing through the circuit varies from what is
returning by even a small amout, the GFCI instantly switches power
off by tripping the main circuit breaker on the generator's control
panel.
A GFCI does NOT protect against circuit overloads, short circuits, or
shocks. For example, electric shock can still occur if a person touches
charged electrical wires while standing on a non-conducting surface,
such as a wood floor.
Test the GFCI outlet before each use as follows (Figure 9):
•
Plug a test lamp into duplex receptacle.
•
Start the generator, the lamp should be on.
•
Press the "Test" button on the GFCI to trip the device. The main
breaker should 'trip', this being indicated by the movement of the
actuator handle to the 'OFF' position.
•
This should stop the flow of electricity making the lamp shut off. If
the main breaker dose not 'trip', the GFCI is not working and the
generator should not be used. Contact a local service dealer.
•
To restore the flow of electricity. Set the main breaker actuator
handle to the 'ON' position. The handle should remain latched in
this position. If it does not, either the GFCI or the main breaker is
failing and should be replaced. Contact a local service dealer.
•
This GFCI is protected against overload by a 35A/240V main
breaker.
