Connecting Electrical Loads; Stopping The Engine - Briggs & Stratton 30319 Operator's Manual

Connecting Electrical Loads

• Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC, single phase,
60 Hz electrical loads.
• DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt duplex
receptacles.
• DO NOT connect 3–phase loads to the generator.
• DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See
"Don't Overload Generator".
CAUTION
Exceeding generator's wattage/amperage capacity can
damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.
• See "Don't Overload Generator".
• Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting
electrical loads.
• Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for
operation.
• Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator
before stopping generator.

Stopping the Engine

1. Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from generator
panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine with
electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Move on/off switch to "Off" position.
CAUTION
Backfire, fire or engine damage could occur.
• DO NOT stop engine by moving choke lever to "Choke"
position.
4. Move fuel valve to "Off" position.
OPERATION
RECEPTACLES
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
Each duplex receptacle (Figure 7) is protected against
overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.
Figure 7 — 120 Volt, 20 Amp 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. Use cord sets that are rated for
125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).
