Do you have a question about the WGen5300sc and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
I noticed there are only two 120-volt outlets. Is it possible for the AC120/240V 30A L14-30R outlet to furnish multiple 120-volt outlets? If so, where can a person find an adapter? I purchased a 3-prong receptacle at Menards with multiple 120 outlets, but it won't fit in the outlet on the generator. I'm not sure if what I'm asking is even possible.
Where can I buy an air filter?
