DETERMINING
ELECTRICAL LOAD
FOR GENERATOR

OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
This generator is not large enough to power
your entire home. Do not connect generator
to any existing electrical circuits. Plug items
directly into generator receptacles. Do not
exceed amperage rating of receptacles. Only
use grounded cords.
DANGER: Use only in well-
vented areas. Make sure area has
plenty of free-moving, fresh, out-
side air. Never run generator in
an enclosed or confined area.
Never run generator inside occu-
pied building. Engine exhaust
contains poisonous carbon mon-
oxide gas. Overexposure will
cause loss of consciousness and
will lead to death.
WARNING: Never connect
generator to any existing electri-
cal circuits. The generator out-
put will back-feed into the utility
power line. This may electrocute
a power company line repair per-
son. Also, if generator is power-
ing electrical circuits, the chance
of an electrical fire exists.
Note:
We supply the engine owner’s manual
with generator. Refer to that manual for
questions concerning engine operation.
USING RECEPTACLE
Note:
Do not exceed amperage rating of
receptacles. Exceeding rating will trip re-
ceptacle circuit breaker.
Use receptacles properly. Improper use could
damage generator. Use only grounded exten-
sion cords. Power only grounded or double-
insulated items. Do not overload receptacles.
This generator has the following receptacles
(see Figure 13):
• 120V, 15-amp duplex receptacle
• 120V, 15-amp GFCI duplex receptacle
• 120V, 30-amp twist-lock receptacle
• 120/240V, 20-amp twist-lock receptacle
Chart to be used as reference. Data may vary wiht size, make, and/or model.
