GROUNDING THE G EN ERATO R I* Turn the fuel valve to the "On" position (Figure 4). The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and external electrically conductive parts of this generator be properly connected to an approved earth ground. Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the unit. For that purpose, a GROUNDING WING NUT is provided on the generator end (Figure 3). Place the choke lever in the "Choke" (Figure 5). position Wing Nut Generally, connecting a No.
Connecting Electrical This receptacle powers 120/240Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 5,500 watts of power (5.5 kW) at 30 Amps for 120Volts or 240Volts.The outlet is protected by a push-to-reset circuit breaker. Loads • Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting. • Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 VottAC, single phase,60 Hz electrical loads. _ • Do Not connect 240Volt loads to the 120Volt duplex receptacles.
DON'T OVERLOAD G EN ERATO R YOUR You must make sure your generator cansupply enough rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will power at the same time.
