Step 4: Connecting Electrical Loads

Using Extension Cords

Use only grounded extension cords marked for outdoor use

rated for your loads. Follow cord safety instructions.

WARNING! Damaged or overloaded extension

cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in

death or serious injury.

NOTICE For best results when plugging into the 120 Volt

receptacles, plug items to be powered in sequence as

shown.

NOTICE For generator output required see Generator

Capacity. Connect electrical loads in off position then turn

on for operation.

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex Receptacles

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.

Ground Fault Protection

The duplex receptacles are equipped with Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. The GFCI protects

against electrical shock that may be caused if your body

becomes a path which electricity travels to reach ground.

When protected by a GFCI, one may still feel a shock, but

the GFCI is intended to cut current off quickly enough so

that a person in normal health should not suffer any serious

electrical injury.

WARNING! Generator voltage could cause

electrical shock or burn resulting in death or

serious injury. Contact with the hot and neutral

conductor at the same time could cause electrical shock

or burn, even if the circuit is GFCI protected.

Testing the GFCI

While generator is running, test each GFCI receptacle prior

to use, as follows:

• Push the “Test” button. The “Reset” button should

pop out, which should allow no power to reach the

receptacle.

• Press the “Reset” button firmly until it is fully in place

and locks in that position. If the GFCI receptacle does

not reset properly, do not use the receptacle. Call

or take your generator to a local Briggs & Stratton

authorized service dealer.

• If the GFCI trips by itself at any time, reset and test the

receptacle.

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. The

generator’s locking receptacle is not protected by a GFCI.

This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single

phase loads requiring up to 7,200 Watts of power (7.2kW)

at 30 Amps for 240 Volts or two independent 120 Volt loads

at 30 Amps each.
