ASSEMBLY
Your AC generator was completely assembled at the fac-
tory. It is ready for use after it has been propedy serviced
with the recommended lubricating oil and fuel.
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ASSEMBLY
OF YOUR GENERATOR,
PLEASE CALL THE GENERA-
TOR HELPLINE AT 1-800-222-3136.
IMPORTANT:
ANY ATTEMPT
TO RUN THE ENGINE
BEFORE IT HAS BEEN SERVICED WITH THE RECOM-
MENDED OIL WILL RESULT IN AN ENGINE FAILURE.

CORD SETS AND CONNECTOR PLUGS
120 VOLTS DUPLEX RECEPTACLE
Use only high
quality,
!
well-insulated, extension
i
cords with the 120-volt
"duplex"type
electrical
receptacles
(Fig. 1). All
cord sets used should be
rated 125 volts at 15 a-c
amps or greater for most
electrical devices.
FIG. 1
Keep extension
cords as short as possible,
preferably
less than 15 feet long to prevent voltage drop and wires
from overheating.
120 VOLTS, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE
For 120 volts, 30 amp locking type NEMA L5-30R recep-
tacle, a well-insulated cord set with a NEMA L5-30P lock-
ing type connector plug (Fig. 2) must be properly connect-
ed to the receptacle and the desired 120 volts, single
phase, 60 Hz, a-c load. The cord set should be rated 30
a-c amperes at 125 volts (or greater) for most electrical
devices.
120/240 VOLTS, 20 AMP RECEPTACLE
A 120/240 volts, 20 amp, locking type type mating con-
nector plug (Rg. 3) is required when using this receptacle
(L14-2OR). A 4-wire cord set, rated 20 a-c amperes at 250
volts (or greater), is required and must be connected to
the plug and to the desired loads.

GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of this generator be
properly connected to an approved earth ground. Local
electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
unit. For that purpose, a GROUNDING WING NUT is pro-
vided on the base of the cradle (Fig. 4). Generally, con-
necting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded
copper wire to the grounding lug and to an earth-driven
copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides ade-
quate protection against electrical shock. Be sure to keep
ground wire attached
when you connect
electrode.
However, local codes may vary widely. Consult with a
local electrician for grounding requirements in your area.
Proper grounding of generator will help prevent electricel
shock in the event of a ground fault condition in the gener-
ator or in connected electrical devices. Proper grounding
also helps dissipate static electricity, which often builds up
in ungrounded devices.
