Generac Portable Products G1000M Generator
8
CONNECTOR PLUGS
120 Volt AC Receptacle
Each outlet socket is protected against overload by a
7.5 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each receptacle
to operate 120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads
requiring up to 1,000 watts (1.0 kW) of power (Figure 8).
CAUTION! Although each receptacle is rated
for 120 Volts at 15 Amps (1,440 watts or 1.44 kW),
the generator is rated for a total of 1,000 watts.
Powering loads that exceed the wattage capacity of
the generator can damage it or cause serious
injuries. The total of loads powered through these
receptacles should not exceed 7.5 Amps.
12 Volt DC Accessory Jack
This receptacle allows you to recharge a 12 Volt
automotive or utility style storage battery with the battery
charge cable provided. Camping-style air pumps, lanterns,
fans, or other 12 Volt devices having a cigarette lighter-type
plug may also be powered by this outlet (Figure 9).
This receptacle can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and can
not be used to crank an engine having a discharged battery.
See “Charging a Battery” (page 7) before attempting to
recharge a battery.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only high quality, well-insulated, extension cords with
the generator’s 120 Volt electrical receptacles.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use
them. Such cords should be rated for 125 Volt AC loads at
15 Amps (or greater) for most electrical devices. Some
devices, however, may not require this type of extension
cord. Check the owner’s manuals of those devices for their
recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less
than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible
overheating of wires.
