Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably
less than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and
possible overheating of wires.
120 Volt
AC, 20 Amp Duplex Receptacle
Each receptacle is protected against overload by a
single 15 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. 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.
120/240
Volt
AC, 20 Amp Receptacle
This is a full capacity receptacle; it can supply the
generator's full rated output from this sole outlet. The
outlet is protected by two 15 Amp push-to-reset
circuit breakers.

A NEMA L14-20 plug is used with this 240 Volt
receptacle. Connect a suitable 4-wire cord set to the
plug and to the desired load. The cord set should be
rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).
A
CAUTION!
Although this receptacle is rated for
120/240 Volts at 20 Amps (4,800 watts or
4.8 kW), the generator is rated for a total of
3,600 watts at 15 Amps. Powering loads that
exceed the wattage capacity of the generator
can damage it or cause serious injuries. See
"Don't Overload Generator" on page 10.
COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4°C] combined with high humidity), your
Craftsman generator may experience icing of the
carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system. To
reduce this problem, you need to perform the following:
1.
Make sure generator has clean, fresh fuel.
2.
Open fuel tank valve (turn valve to open position).
3.
Use SAE 5W-30 oil (synthetic preferred, see
page 7).
4.
Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours
of operation.
5.
Change oil every 24 hours of operation.
6.
Shelter unit from the elements.
In an emergency, use the original shipping carton as a
temporary shelter:
1.
Cut off all carton flaps.
2.
Cut out one of the tong sides of carton to expose
muffler side of unit as shown below. Ensure a
minimum of two feet clearance between open side
of carton and nearest object.
Wind/_\
Muffler side exposed. Your unit may differ in
appearance from that shown above.
3.
Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit.
4.
Start unit, then place carton over it.
NOTE: Remove carton when temperature is above
40°F [4°C].
For a more permanent shelter, build a structure that
will enclose three sides and the top of the generator.
1.
Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is
exposed, as shown.
2.
Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between
open side of structure and nearest object.
3.
Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
4.
Structure should hold enough heat created by the
generator to prevent icing problem.

WARNING!
Engines give off carbon monoxide,
an odorless, colorless, poison gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting or
death.
5.
Start and run engine outdoors.
6.
DO NOT start or run engine in enclosed area,
even if doors or windows are open.
7.
DO NOT enclose generator any more than shown.
8.
Remove shelter when temperatures are above
40°F [4°C].
9.
Turn engine OFF and let cool two (2) minutes
before refueling.
