Owners Manual
Connecting Electrical Loads
• Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt AC,
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
• Do Not connect 240Volt loads to the 120Volt duplex
receptacles.
• Do Not connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
• Do Not connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
• DO NOT OVERLOADTHE GENERATOR. See
"Don't Overload the Generator" on page 9.
Stopping the Engine
• Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel
receptacles. Never start or stop engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned ON.
• Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize
the internal temperatures of engine and generator.
• Move rocker switch to"Off" position.
• Move the fuel valve to the"Off' position.
RECEPTACLES
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA LI4-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4-wire cord set rated for 250Volt AC loads at 30Amps (or
greater) (Figure 7).You can use the same 4-wire cord if you
plan to run a 120Volt load.
This receptacle powers 120/240Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 5,500 watts of power (5.5 kW)
at 30Amps for 120Volts or 240Volts.The oudet is
protected by a push-to-reset circuit breaker.
_ CAUTION! Although this outlet states it has a
120/240 Volt 30 Amp rating (up to 7,200 watts), the
generator is only rated for 5,500 watts. Powering
loads that exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of
the generator can damage it or cause serious
injuries.

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacles
Each duplex receptacle (Figure 8) is protected against
overload by a push-to-reset circuit breaker.
Use each receptacle to operate 120Volt AC, single-phase,
60 Hz eJectrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW)
at 20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for
125Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).
_ CAUTION.IThese outlets are rated at 120Volt
20 Amp each (up to 80 Amps),The generator is only
rated for up to 45.8 Amps. Powering loads that
exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of the
generator can damage it or cause serious injuries,
