CORD SETS AND RECEPTACLES
CAUTION
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".
Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded
extension cords with the generator's 120 Volt electrical
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 125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps or greater for most
electrical devices. Some devices, however, may not
require this type of extension cord. Check the
operator's manuals of those devices for the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably
less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and
possible overheating of wires.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles
Each duplex receptacle is protected against overload
by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.
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).
GENERATOR ADAPTER CORD SET
The generator comes with a 25' generator adapter
cord set designed to provide two sets of 120 Volt,
20 Amp outlets from one 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex
receptacle. The generator adapter cord set provides a
convenient supply of emergency power so that your
generator can be operated safely outside.
The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps. The
maximum total load on both black wire outlets or white
stripe wire outlets is 20 Amps.
NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting
any extension cord or device to the generator.
