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 (or
greater) (Figure 8).You can use the same 4–wire cord if you
plan to run a 120 Volt load.

This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 4,500 watts of power (4.5 kW)
at 30 Amps for 120 Volts or 240 Volts.The outlet is
protected by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.
CAUTION!
Although this outlet states it has a
120/240 Volt 30 Amp rating (up to 7,200 watts), the
generator is only rated for 4,500 watts. Powering
loads that exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of
the generator can damage it or cause serious
injuries.

Ground Fault Protection

This unit is equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI).This device meets applicable federal,
state and local codes.
The GFCI protects against electrical shock that may be
caused if your body becomes a path which electricity
travels to reach ground.This could happen if you touch a
"Live" appliance or wire, or are touching plumbing or other
materials that connect to the ground.
When protected by a GFCI, one may still feel a shock, but
the GFCI should cut current off quickly enough so that a
person in normal health should not suffer any serious
electrical injury.
CAUTION!
The GFCI will not protect you
against the following situations: (1) Line-to-line
shocks; (2) Current overloads or line-to-line short
circuits.The fuse or circuit breaker at the
distribution panel must provide such protection.
