Code
for
50
amp
120/240V
configuration.
Doing
so
will
supply
the

causing
extensive
damage
to
the

DO
NOT
disconnect
the

connection
by
pulling
up

This
will
cause
a
loss
of
neutral

will
be
supplied
to
the
electrical
system
and
120

which
would
not
be

Always
pull
straight
out

so
all
4
prongs
disengage
the

simultaneously.
DO
NOT
plug

may
result.
Turn
off
the
breakers
at
the
