• 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, 20 Amp Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14-20 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volts AC at 20 Amps (or
greater) (Figure 8).You can use the same 4-wire cord if you
plan to run a 120 Volt load.

NEMA L14-20
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 2,000 watts of power at
16.7 Amps for 120 Volts; 4,000 watts of power (4.0 kW) at
16.7 Amps for 240 Volts.The outlet is protected against
overload by a 2 pole GFCI circuit breaker.
120 Volt AC, 30 Amp Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L5-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
3-wire cord set rated for 125 Volts AC at 30 Amps to the
plug (Figure 9).
Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 3,600 watts (3.6 kW) of power
at 30 Amps.The outlet is protected against overload by a
2 pole GFCI circuit breaker.

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacle
Each duplex receptacle (Figure 10) is protected against
overload by a 2 pole GFCI circuit breaker.
Figure 10 — 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacle
Use each receptacle to 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).
12 Volt DC, 10 Amp Receptacle
This receptacle (Figure 11) allows you to recharge a 12 Volt
automotive or utility style storage battery.
Figure 11 — 12 Volt DC, 10 Amp Receptacle
This receptacle can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and can
not be used to crank an engine having a discharged battery.
See "Charging a Battery" on page 10 before attempting to
recharge a battery.This outlet is protected by a 10 Amp self
resetting circuit breaker.
