generator to prevent problems.
RECEPTACLES
This generator is equipped with the following receptacles:
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp Duplex
Receptacle
This receptacle (Figure 7) is protected against overload by
a push-to-reset circuit breaker.
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 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
Generac Portable Products 3,600 Watt Generator
120/240 Volt AC, 20 Amp Locking
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.
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 3,600 watts of power at
20 Amps for 120 Volts or 3,600 watts of power (3.6 kW) at

CAUTION!
Although this outlet states it has a
120/240 Volt 20 Amp rating (up to 4,800 watts), the
generator is only rated for 3,600 watts. Powering
loads that exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of
the generator can damage it or cause serious injuries.
