2.2 CORD SETS AND CONNECTION
PLUGS
2.2.1 120 VAC, 20 AMP, DUPLEX RECEPTACLE
This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 14 Amp
circuit breaker (Figure 7). Use each socket to power 120 Volt AC,
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a combined
1680 watts (1.68 kW) or 14 Amps of current. Use only high
quality, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for 125
Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less than
15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible overheating of
wires.

2.2.2 120 VAC, 20 AMP, GFCI DUPLEX RECEPTACLE
(CARB ONLY)
This is a 120 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 14 Amp
circuit breaker (Figure 8). Use each socket to power 120 Volt AC,
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to a combined
1680 watts (1.68 kW) or 14 Amps of current. Use only high
quality, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for 125
Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
Keep extension cords as short as possible to prevent voltage drop
and possible overheating of wires.

2.2.3 120/240 VAC, 20 AMP TWISTLOCK RECEPTACLE
This is a 120/240 Volt outlet protected against overload by a 14
Amp circuit breaker (Figure 9). Connect a suitable 4-wire grounded
cord set to the plug and to the desired load. The cord set should
be rated for 250 volts at 20 amps (or greater) if the 120/240
receptacle is used along with 120 volt receptacle. The total load
drawn must not exceed the data label ratings.

IMPORTANT: Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload
individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against
overload with circuit breakers. If amperage rating of any circuit
breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and electrical output
to that receptacle is lost. Read “Don’t Overload the Generator”
carefully.
2.3 HOW TO USE THE GENERATOR
If there are any problems operating the generator, please call the
generator helpline at 1-888-436-3722.

Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors!
NEVER use in the home, in a vehicle, or in
partly enclosed areas such as garages, EVEN
IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use
outdoors and far from open windows, doors,
vents, and in an area that will not accumulate
deadly exhaust.

The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, which can you cannot see or smell.
This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations, can cause unconsciousness
or even death.

Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and
ventilating air is critical to correct generator
operation. Do not alter the installation or
permit even partial blockage of ventilation
provisions, as this can seriously affect safe
operation of the generator. The generator
MUST be operated outdoors.

This exhaust system must be properly
maintained. Do nothing that might render the
exhaust system unsafe or in noncompliance
with any local codes and/or standards.
