Once you have determined what electrical devices you will be powering with the generator,
connect these devices according to the following procedure:
1. Plug in each electrical device with the device turned off.
a. NOTE:
Be sure to attach appliances to the correct receptacle (outlet). Connect
standard 120 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz loads only to the 120 Volt receptacle.
b. Connect 120/240 Volt, single phase, 60Hz loads with NEMA L14-30 plug only
to the 120/240 Volt receptacle See Figure 11 for a depiction of each of these
receptacles.
2. Switch the circuit breaker to the "ON" position.
3. Turn on the connected electrical devices in the order of the amount of power they
require beginning with the device with the highest rated Wattage requirement.
CAUTION: Do not connect 50Hz or 3-phase loads to the generator.
