Sto_g_ the Engine
I. Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from
generator panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine
with electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Turn engine off according to instructions given in the
engine operator's manual.
4. Move fuel valve to"Off" position.
RECEPTACLES
[ CAUTION
1
. NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage
than generator or receptacle can supply.
. DO NOT overload generator. See"Don't Overload Generator".
1201240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking
Receptacle
Use a NENA LI4-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4-wire cord set rated for 250Volt AC loads at 30Amps (or
greater) (Figure 6).You can use the same #-wire cord if you
_lan to run a 120Vok load.

This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 6,200 watts of power (6.2 kW)
at 25.8 Amps for 240Volts or two independent 120Volt
loads at 25.8 Amps each.The outlet is protected by
push-to-reset circuit breakers.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacles
Each duplex receptacle (Figure 7) is protected against
overload by a push-to-reset circuit breaker.
Use each receptacle to operate 120Volt 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).
BATTERY CHARGER
Use battery float charger jack to keep the starting battery
charged and ready for use. Battery charging should be done
in a dry location, such as inside a garage.
I. Plug charger into unit's"Battery Float Charger" jack,
which is located on the starter switch (Figure 8). Plug
battery charger into a 120Volt AC wall receptacle.
2. Unplug charger from unit and wail outlet when
generator is being started and while it is in operation.
3. Keep this charger plugged in when generator is not in
use to prolong battery life.The charger has a built in
float equalizer and will not overcharge the battery,
even when plugged in for an extended period of time.
