GENERATOR ADAPTER

CORD SET

The generator is equipped with a 25’ generator adapter
cord set designed for a 240 Volt, 30 Amp grounded neutral
circuit (Figure 5).

The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps.The
maximum total load on both yellow wire outlets or both
black wire outlets is 30 Amps.

NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting any
extension cord or device to the generator.

RECEPTACLES

120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking

Receptacle

Use a NEMA L14–30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or
greater) (Figure 6).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 5,500 watts of power (5.5 kW)
at 22.9 Amps for 120 Volts or 240 Volts.The outlet is
protected by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex

Receptacle

Each duplex 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 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).
