Figure 7 - Estimated wattage requirements for common electrical devices.
Connect electrical devices to this generator according to the following procedure:
1. Allow the engine to run for several minutes after it has been started.
2. Confirm that the electrical device is switched off prior to plugging it into this generator.
Connect only electrical devices that are in good working order. Faulty devices or power cords present the risk of electrical shock.
Immediately turn off and disconnect any device that commences to operate abnormally, sluggish or abruptly stops. Determine if the
problem was the device or the rated load capacity of this generator has been exceeded.
NOTE: Plug appliances into the correct outlet. Connect standard 120 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz loads to the 120 Volt outlet. Connect 240/120Volt,
single phase, 60Hz loads with a NEMA L14-30 plug only to the 240/120 Volt outlet. See Figure 8 for an illustration of these outlets.
Even though this ACDelco AC-G0004 Portable Generator has an overall rated wattage of 5000, do not attempt to draw more than 5400
Watts (20 A) from any ONE of the 120 Volt outlets. Draws higher than 5400 Watts (20 A) will damage this generator and void the warranty.
3. Switch the circuit breaker to the "on" position.
NOTE: While this generator is running, power is available from either the standard 120 Volt outlets or the 240/120 Volt NEMA outlet. Both 120 Volts
and 240 Volts can be simultaneously drawn from this generator.
4. Turn on the connected electrical devices beginning with the device with the highest rated wattage requirement and then each additional device
with the next lower rated wattage requirement.
