Cordsets And Receptacles - Briggs & Stratton Generator Operator's Manual

CordSets and Receptacles
Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension
cords with the generator's 120 Volt duplex receptacle.
Inspect extension cords before each use.
Checkthe 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. Checkthe operator's manuals of those
devices for the manufacturer's recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize
voltage drop.
_k WARNING Overloadedelectrical cords can overheat,
arc, and burn resulting in death, bodily injury,
and/or property damage.
• ONLYusecordsratedfor your loads.
• Followall safetieson electrical c ords.

Use a NEIVIA L14-30 plug with this receptacle. Connecta
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.

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles
The duplex receptacles are protected against overload by
push-to-reset circuit breakers.
Use each receptacleto 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). Inspect cord sets before
each use.

This receptaclepowers 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.
• NEVERattempt to power a device requiring more amperage than
generator or receptacle can supply.
• DO NOT overloadthe generator. SeeDon't OverloadGenerator.
