Battery Charger
Use battery float charger jack to keep the starting
battery charged and ready for use. Battery charging
should be done in a dry location, such as inside a
garage.
1. Plug charger into unit’s “Battery Float Charger”
jack, which is located above on/off switch. Plug
battery charger into a 120 Volt AC wall receptacle.
2. Unplug charger from unit and wall outlet when
generator is being started and while it is in operation.
3. Keep this charger plugged in when generator is
not in use to prolong battery life. The charger has
a built in float equalizer and will not overcharge
the battery, even when plugged in for an extended
period of time.
NOTICE See Battery Maintenance for additional
information.
Cord Sets and Receptacles
Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded
extension cords with the generator’s receptacles.
Inspect extension cords before each use.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use
them. Check the operator’s manuals of devices for the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
A double pole rocker switch circuit breaker is provided
to protect the locking receptacle. If this circuit breaker is
tripped, all receptacles are disconnected.
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). 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 7,000 watts of power
(7.0 kW) at 29.1 Amps for 240 Volts or two independent
120 Volt loads at 29.1 Amps each. The outlet is
protected by a two pole rocker switch circuit breaker.
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.
WARNING Damaged or overloaded electrical
cords could overheat, arc, and burn
resulting in death or serious injury.
• ONLY use cords rated for your loads.
• Follow all safeties on electrical cords.
• Inspect cord sets before each use.
