Cordsets And Receptacles; Battery Charger - Briggs & Stratton 30470 Operator's Manual

CordSets and Receptacles
Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension
cords with the generator's receptacles. Inspect extension
cords before each use.
Checkthe ratings of all extension cords before you use
them. Extension cord sets used should be rated for 125
Volts AC loads 20 Amps or greater. Checkoperator's
manuals of devicesto be powered for the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize
voltage drop.
_i, WARNING Damagedor overloaded electrical cords
could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in death,
serious injury, and/or property damage.
• ONLY use cords ratedfor your loads.
• Follow all safeties on electrical cords.
• Inspect cord sets before each use.
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, LockingReceptacle
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle. Connecta
4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or
greater). You can use the same 4-wire cord if you plan to run
a 120 Volt load.

This receptaclepowers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiring up to 7,200 watts of power (7.2 kW) at
30 Amps for 240 Volts or two independent 120 Volt loads at
30 Amps each. The outlet is protected by a 2 pole rocker
switch circuit breaker.
NOTICE Receptacles may be marked with rating value
greater than generator output capacity.
• NEVERattempt to power a device requiring more amperage than
generator or receptacle can supply.
• DO NOT overloadthe generator.See Don't OverloadGenerator.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles
The duplex receptacle is protected against overload by
push-to-reset circuit breakers.
Use each receptacleto 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 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.
1. Plug charger into unit's "Battery Float Charger" jack,
which is located next to the start switch. Plug battery
charger into a 120 Volt AC wall receptacle.
.
3.
NOtiCE
Unplug chargerfrom unit and wall outlet when generator
is being startedand while it is in operation.
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.
See Battery Maintenancefor additional information.
