Cord Sets and Receptacles
Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension
cords with the generator’s 120 Volt duplex receptacle.
Inspect extension cords before each use.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use
them. Extension cord sets used should be rated for 125 Volt
AC loads at 20 Amps or greater for most electrical devices.
Some devices, however, may not require this type of
extension cord. Check the operator’s manuals of those
devices for the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible to minimize
voltage drop.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles
Each duplex receptacle 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).
Generator Adapter Cord Set
The generator comes with a 25' generator adapter cord set
designed to provide two sets of 120 Volt, 20 Amp outlets
from one 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacle.
The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps. The
maximum total load on both black wire outlets or white
stripe wire outlets is 20 Amps.
NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting any
extension cord or device to the generator.
WARNING
Overloaded electrical cords can overheat, arc,
and burn resulting in death, bodily injury, and/or
property damage.
• ONLY use cords rated for your loads.
• Follow all safeties on electrical cords.
NOTICE
Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater than
generator output capacity.
• NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage
than generator or receptacle can supply.
• DO NOT overload the generator. See “Don’t Overload Generator”.
