CORD SETS AND CONNECTOR
PLUGS
120 Volt Duplex Receptacle
Use only high quality, well-insulated, extension cords with
the generator's 120-volt duplex electrical receptacles.
Each receptacle is protected against overload by a push-
to-reset circuitbreaker. Use each receptacle to operate
120 volts, single phase 60 Hz, A C electrical loads requir-
ing up to 2400 watts (2.4 kW) at 20 amps of current.
A
CAUTION!
Although each receptacle is
rated for 120 volts at 20 amps (2400 watts
or 2.4 kW), the generator is rated for a
total of 5000 watts.
Powering loads that
exceed the wattage capacity of the
generator can damage it or cause serious
injuries. The total of loads with 120 volts
powered through these receptacles
should not exceed 20 amps.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use
them. Extensioncord sets used should be rated 125 volts
at 20 ac amps or greater for most electrical devices.
Some devices, however, may not require this type of
extension cord. Check the owner's manuals of those
devices for the manufacturer's recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably
less than 15 feet long to prevent voltage drop and possi-
ble overheating of wires.
