Using as a portable
power source
When using the generator as a portable power source, you can plug electric
devices and appliances directly into the generator’s electrical outlets.
There are eleven different electrical outlets on the generator:
1. One 120 Volt, 30 Amp Locking receptacle (NEMA L5-30R compatible with
NEMA L5-30P mating plugs).
2. Eight 120 Volt, 20 Amp Duplex Straight-Blade receptacles (NEMA 5-20R
duplex receptacles compatible with NEMA 5-20P or 5-15P mating plugs).
3. One 120/240 Volt, 40 Amp Straight Blade receptacle (NEMA 14-50R
compatible with NEMA 14-50P mating plugs).
4. One 12 Volt DC receptacle.
• Make sure you plug each electrical device/appliance into the correct generator
outlet based on the device’s plug configuration and voltage/amperage rating.
Never exceed the amperage rating of an outlet.
• Extension cords may be used to power devices that are located at a distance from
the generator. However, use only UL-listed, outdoor-rated, grounded extension
cords of the proper size. Use Table 2 below to choose an adequately sized
extension cord according to the amperage of the device being used and the length
of the cord.
