6 . Gradually push choke handle in to run (
) position .

Step 4: Connecting Electrical Loads
Using Extension Cords
Use only grounded extension cords marked for outdoor use
rated for your loads . Follow cord safety instructions .
WARNING!
Damaged or overloaded extension
cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in
death or serious injury .
NOTICE
For best results when plugging into the 120 Volt
GFCI receptacles, plug items to be powered in sequence as
shown .
NOTICE
For generator output required see
Generator
Capacity.
Connect electrical loads in off position then turn
on for operation .
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex Receptacles
Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single-phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 Watts (2 .4 kW)
at 20 Amps of current .
Ground Fault Protection
The duplex receptacles are equipped with Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection . The GFCI protects
against electrical shock that may be caused if your body
becomes a path which electricity travels to reach ground .
When protected by a GFCI, one may still feel a shock, but
the GFCI is intended to cut current off quickly enough
so that a person in normal health should not suffer any
serious electrical injury .
WARNING!
Generator voltage could cause
electrical shock or burn resulting in death or
serious injury . Contact with the hot and neutral
conductor at the same time could cause electrical shock
or burn, even if the circuit is GFCI protected .
Testing the GFCI
With the engine running, test your GFCI outlet prior to
each use, as follows:
• Push the “Test” button . The “Reset” button should
pop out, which should allow no power to reach the
outlet .
• Press the “Reset” button firmly until it is fully in
place and locks in that position . If the GFCI outlet
does not reset properly, do not use the outlet . Call or
take your generator to a local service center .
• If the GFCI trips by itself at any time, reset and test
the outlet .
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 .
The generator’s locking receptacle is not protected by a
GFCI.
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 .
