OPERATION
15
• This receptacle has a 13A main circuit breaker to protect against overload.
• This receptacle is rated to operate 120 Volt, AC, single phase, 60Hz loads requiring up to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) at 30
Amps. It is also rated to operate 240 Volt AC, single phase, 60Hz loads.
• Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle.
• Use a 4-wire cord rated for 240 Volts AC, 30 Amps to the plug. You can use the same 4-wire cord to operate a 120 Volt
load.
120 / 240 Volt AC, 30 Amp locking receptacle (L14-30R)
Voltage selector switch
This switch allows the generator to operate in either single voltage (120V) or dual voltage (120V/24V) mode. When placed in
the 120V position it allows you to receive the full capacity of the generator by duplex (5-20R) at 120V receptacles. When placed
in the 120/240V position, you will only be able to receive half the available watts when using the 120 volt receptacles and
the full available watts when using the 240V 4--prong twist-lock receptacle.
Do not connect 3-phase loads to generator.
CAUTION!
Extension Cord Selection
Refer to the below table to ensure the extension cord used has the capacity to carry the required load. If the size of the
cable is inadequate it can cause a voltage drop, which can damage the electrical device and cord.

Moving the Generator
• Disconnect any electronic devices from generator then turn generator off.
• Turn fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
• Tilt generator until it balances on wheels. Roll machine to desired location.
• If the generator must be carried, fold handle to the down position. Never lift or carry generator by its handle.
CAUTION!
This product is heavy and requires several people to lift. Lift and lower with your legs by bending
at the knees, not your back, to avoid injury.
CAUTION!
Do not move the voltage selector switch while powering electrical devices. Disconnect all
electrical loads before moving the switch. Failure to disconnect electrical loads could damage the
switch or generator.
