2.3 CORDSETSANDCONNECTIONPLUGS
2.3.1 120VAC,20 AMP,DUPLEXRECEPTACLE
This is a 120 Volt outlet protectedagainst overloadby a 20 Amp
push-to-resetcircuit breaker (Figure6). Useeach socket to power
120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiringup to a
combined 2400 watts (2.4 kW) or 20 Amps of current. Useonly
high quality, well-insulated, 3-wire grounded cord sets rated for
125 Volts at 20 Amps (or greater).
Keep extensioncords as short as possible, preferablyless than
15 feet long, to preventvoltagedrop and possibleoverheatingof
wires.

2.3.2 120/240VAC,30 AMPRECEPTACLE
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock!
unlock). Oonnecta suitable4-wire groundedcord set to the plug
andto the desiredtoad.The cord set should be ratedfor 250 Volts
AC at 30 Amps (or greater)(Figure7).
120V/240V
30A
Use this receptacleto operate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase
loads requiringup to 3600 watts (3.6 kW) of power at 30 Amps
or 240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 7200
watts (7.2 kW) of power at 30 Amps. The outlet is protected by
two 25 Amp (5.0/5.5kW) or two 30 Amp (6.5kW) push-to-reset
circuit breakers.
2.4 HOW TO USETHEGENERATOR
If there are any problems operatingthe generator,pleasecall the
generatorhelplineat 1-888-GENERAC.
2.4.1 GROUNDINGTHEGENERATOR
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of this generator be
properlyconnectedto an approved earth ground (Figure 8).
Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
unit. Forthat purpose, connectinga No. 10 AWG (AmericanWire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding lug and to an
earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides
adequateprotectionagainstelectricalshock. However,local codes
may vary widely. Consultwith a local electricianfor grounding
requirementsin the area.
