CONNECTOR PLUGS
120 Volt AC Receptacle
Each outlet socket is protected against overload by a
7.5 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each
receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 1,000 watts
(1.0 kW) of power.

_ CAUTION! Although each receptacle is rated
for 120 Volts at 15 Amps (1,440 watts or
1.44 kW), the generator is rated for a total of
1,000 watts. Powering loads that exceed the
wattage capacity of the generator can damage it
or cause serious injuries. The total of loads
powered through these receptacles should not
exceed 7.5 Amps.
12 Volt DC Accessory Jack
This receptacle allows you to recharge a 12 Volt
automotive or utility style storage battery with the
battery charge cable provided. Camping-style air
pumps, lanterns, fans, or other 12 Volt devices having
a cigarette lighter-type plug may also be powered by
this outlet.
This receptacle can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and
can not be used to crank an engine having a
discharged battery. See the section "Charging a
Battery" (page 8) before attempting to recharge a
battery.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only high quality, well-insulated, extension cords
with the generator's 120 Volt electrical receptacles.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you
use them. Such cords should be rated for 125 Volt AC
loads at 15 Amps (or greater) for most electrical
devices. Some devices, however, may not require this
type of extension cord. Check the owner's manuals of
those devices for their recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably
less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and
possible overheating of wires.
