Connecting Electrical Loads; Stopping The Engine - Briggs & Stratton Elite 030211 Owner's Manual

3. Start engine according to instructions given in the
engine owner's manual.
NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if
unit shuts down during operation, make sure unit is on a
level surface and check for proper oil level in crankcase.
This unit may be equipped with a low oil protection device.
See engine manual.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat.Temperature of
muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed
150°F (65°C).
Severe burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush,
ect. can catch fire.
• DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of generator for
adequate ventilation.
• In the State of California a spark arrester is required by law
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other
states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal
lands. If you equip the muffler with a spark arrester, it must be
maintained in effective working order.

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 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".

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. Turn engine off according to instructions given in the
engine owner's manual.
4. Move fuel valve to "Off" position.
6200W Portable Generator
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".
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14–30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or
greater) (Figure 5).You can use the same 4–wire cord if you
plan to run a 120 Volt load.
Figure 5 — 120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp Receptacle
4-Wire Cord Set
NEMA L14-30
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 6,200 watts of power (6.2 kW)
at 25.8 Amps for 240 Volts or two independent 120 Volt
loads at 25.8 Amps each.The outlet is protected by
push–to–reset circuit breakers.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacles
Each duplex receptacle (Figure 6) is protected against
overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.
